IN THE EVER-MOVING, EVER-TRANSFORMING STATE OF THE WORLD,

ONE CAN FIND THEMSELVES CAUGHT IN A STRESS-RIDDEN COMMOTION.
DEADLINES, DEBTS, AND RESPONSIBILITIES ACCUMULATE IN DAILY
SCHEDULES, CAUSING A RISE IN STRESS THAT EVENTUALLY LEADS TO
SELF-DESTRUCTIVE CONSEQUENCES. LIVING A CALM LIFESTYLE IS
IMPORTANT FOR EVERYBODY; IT HONES THE MIND, SOOTHES THE
SOUL AND REDUCES FRUSTRATION THAT PLAGUES THE MILLENNIAL.
Q U I L IS A COMPILATION FOR ALL THOSE THAT SEEK A BRIEF
ESCAPE FROM THE PRESSURE OF REALITY.

LAST TUESDAY AFTERNOON,
THE SKY WAS FILLED WITH A SILENT SMOKE.
LIKE MOST DAYS, THE RAIN WHISPERED
LIGHTLY,
HUSHED,
UNTIL DAWN BROKE

THE NEXT MORNING,

THE ICY MIST FLOODED THE STREETS.
OUR FINGERTIPS ON THE COOL GLASS,
UNTOUCHABLE,
STILL,
WAITING FOR OUR EYES TO MEET

10
11
AR TICLE

TELL ME
HOW
TO
STAY COOL

12

DRINK WATER; EVEN WHEN YOURE
NOT PHYSICALLY HOT, DRINKING A
GLASS OF WATER COULD
SOOTHE YOUR SENSES. THE
COOLNESS OF BEING HYDRATED
IMMEDIATELY CLEARS YOUR MIND
AND RE-ENERGISES YOUR BODY,
MAKING YOU MORE EQUIPPED TO
HANDLE DAUNTING SITUATIONS.
SWAP THE CUP OF CAFFEINE FOR
A WATER BOTTLE, ESPECIALLY
BECAUSE CAFFEINE CAN QUICKLY
OVERWHELM YOUR MIND.
DONT LOOK AT PEOPLE; FOR A NEEDS TO BE PICTURED. THIS IS
MOMENT, AND A MOMENT ONLY, AN EASY STRESS-RELIEVER THAT
DISENGAGING WITH THE CROWD CAN BE DONE DISCREETLY.
WILL CALM YOU DOWN. PEOPLE
ARE STRESSFUL BEINGS, MORE
SO WHEN YOURE ONE OF
THOSE WHO HAVE
LIGHT-HEARTED CURIOSITY TO
EVERYONES DAILY LIVES. LOOK
OUT THE WINDOW, WATCH THE
BIRDS PIERCE THE SKY, IMAGINE
HAVING A SIP OF HOMEMADE
LEMONADE.
BE STILL; TAKE A STEP BACK AND
LISTEN TO WHATS HAPPENING
AROUND YOU. FIND THE PRESENT,
AND DISCOVER THE TEMPORARY,
BECAUSE SILENCE AMPLIFIES THE
BEAUTY OF YOUR FAVOURITE
SOUNDS AT THE SAME TIME, IT
BLOCKS OUT THE NOISES THAT
IRRITATE. FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION
ON YOUR BREATHING, AND FEEL
HOW IT MOVES YOUR BODY.
13
DOODLE; NOT ALWAYS THE MOST
PROFESSIONAL OF OPTIONS BUT
ALLOWING YOUR HAND TO MOVE
FREELY ON PAPER TANSFERS
YOUR ATTENTION ONTO THE
EASE OF THE PEN GLIDING ON
PAPER. LARGER, CIRCULAR
MOTIONS ARE BETTER FOR
CALMING THE MIND. MASTERPIECES
ARE NOT REQUIRED, BUT MESSY
DRAWINGS ARE ALWAYS
ACCEPTABLE. NOTE THAT THE
TERM DOODLE INSTEAD OF
DRAWING, NOTHING COHERENT
A
LISTEN TO CALMING MUSIC; THIS
ALSO HELPS WHEN YOURE
DOING STRESSFU OR REPETITVE
PAPERWORK; IT TAKES OFF SOME
OF THE TENSION ON YOUR MIND.
THIS IS ESPECIALLY EFFECTIVE IF
THE SONGS YOURE LISTENING TO
BRINGS YOU GOOD MEMORIES,
BUT BE CAREFUL NOT TO FEEL
THE MUSIC TOO MUCH TO THE
POINT OF DISTRACTION. MUSIC
SHOULD SOOTHE AND HELP
CONCENTRATION. THIS IS WHERE
CLASSICAL MUSIC OR
INSTRUMENTALS ARE OFTEN
MORE FAVOURABLE.

DISCOVERING
THE

COLOURS OF CALM
COMMITTING TO A STRESS-FREE LIFESTYLE CAN BE PERCEIVED AS DIFFICULT BY
MOST OF US WHO ARE CAUGHT UP IN FAST-PACED AND UNPREDICTABLE DAILY
ROUTINES. THE USE AND PRESENCE OF COLOURS ARE OFTEN OVERLOOKED, A
SMALL MATTER TO OUR DAYS, BUT IF YOU TAKE A CLOSER LOOK COLOURS CAN
REALLY SWAY OUR EMOTIONS. PERHAPS THATS WHY OUR PRO-LONGED
FASCINATION AND BELIEF IN MOOD RINGS LASTED LONGER THAN IT SHOULD HAVE.

BLUE HAS BEEN D ISCOVERED T O CURE MENTAL I LLNESSES, O R ILLNESSES

THAT DERIVE FROM VISUAL INFLUENCES. IT IS SAID TO COOL, SOOTHE AND
TREAT HEADACHES. V IJAYA KUMARS BOOK COLOUR THERAPY SUPPORTS SUCH
STATEMENTS, CLAIMING THAT BLUE ALSO CURES EPILEPSY, ANXIETY AND NAUSEA.
BLUE IS UNDOUBTEDLY A COLOUR THAT CALMS PEOPLE, AND CAN THEREFORE BE
FREQUENTLY SEEN I N HOSPITALS; FROM WALLPAPER USED I N THE WARDS, TO
SURGEONS OPERATING APRONS, T O PREVENT PATIENTS FROM UNDERGOING
TRAUMATIC SHOCK AND LONG-TERM D ISCOMFORT. I T IS PERHAPS A NATURAL,
INSTINCTUAL ELEMENT DUE TO THE UBIQUITOUS PRESENCE OF IT; THE SKY AND
BODIES O F WATER ARE BOTH STRONG EXAMPLES O F HOW THE HUMAN RACE
ASSOCIATES THE COLOUR W ITH FAMILIARITY, SECURITY, AND TRANQUILITY.
ADDITIONALLY, BECAUSE THE COLOUR SOOTHES AND CLEARS OUR M INDS I T
ADVANCES CONTEMPLATION O F ONES TRUE I NDIVIDUALITY, W ILL-POWER, AND
INTELLECTUAL THOUGHT. THIS IS I MPORTANT I N SUSTAINING A STRESS-FREE
LIFESTYLE; POSSESSING THE HABIT TO BE REFLECTIVE OF ONES ACTIONS IN A
MINDFUL MANNER REDUCES NEGATIVE REPERCUSSIONS O F UNFILTERED
BEHAVIOUR. ANOTHER METHOD T O ACHIEVE A RELAXED L IFESTYLE I S TO
CONSIDER A NEUTRAL APPROACH.

18
 THE COLOUR GREY CAN BE DESCRIBED AS UNATTACHED, NEUTRAL, IMPARTIAL,
WHICH THOROUGHLY CONVEYS A MORE PASSIVE AND EASY-GOING CHARACTER,
WHICH IS ESSENTIAL, AGAIN, TO CLEAR ONES MIND. THIS, HOWEVER, SHOULD BE
USED IN MODERATION AS TOO MUCH GREY MAY RESULT IN THE COUNTER-EFFECT;
IT MAY PROVOKE A NUMB, EMOTIONLESS, DISCOURAGED MINDSET. ITS ALSO QUITE
AN I NDUSTRIAL COLOUR, V ISUALISING A COLD, UTILITARIAN, AND UNFAMILIAR
SETTING, WHICH WILL RESULT IN A DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON THE MIND. OVERALL,
THE APPLICATION OF THIS NEUTRAL COLOUR IN OUR SURROUNDINGS ALLOWS FOR
THE MIND TO FOCUS LESS ON THE ENVIRONMENT BUT MORE ON ITSELF. NOT
ONLY IS IT A NEUTRAL COLOUR DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS THE COMBINATION
OF BLACK AND WHITE - TWO HARSHLY OPPOSING COLOURS, BUT IT SETTLES A
NEUTRAL MOOD W ITHIN THE HUMAN M IND. NEUTRALITY I S A COMPONENT OF
PASSIVENESS, WHICH ALLOWS FOR A QUIET DISPOSITION. BEING STILL, ACCORDING
TO P ICO IYERS BOOK THE ART O F STILLNESS, I S A WAY T O CLARITY AND
SANITY AND THE JOYS THAT ENDURE. IYERS BOOK INVOLVES DISCOURSE WITH
A MONK, WHICH L INKS T O HOW COLOUR CONNOTATIONS AND RELIGION ARE
HEAVILY INTERTWINED WITH EACH OTHER.
THE COLOUR WHITE I S MOST PROMINENTLY USED T O SYMBOLISE
RIGHTEOUSNESS I N THE B IBLE A S WELL A S PURITY, V IRTUE A S WELL AS
INNOCENCE [AND] I NTEGRITY. SUCH VALUES ARE SACRED BECAUSE THEY ARE
EASILY TARNISHED, JUST AS THE COLOUR WHITE, A COLOURLESS COLOUR, CAN
EASILY B E STAINED B Y THE SLIGHTEST D ISRUPTION. ACCORDING TO
INTERIORDEZINE.COM, I T IS ALSO USED I N PLACES WHERE A H IGH LEVEL OF
STERILITY I S REQUIRED, SUCH A S LABORATORIES, K ITCHENS, AND BATHROOMS,
BECAUSE D IRT AND OTHER SOURCES O F CONTAMINATION CAN EASILY BE
DETECTED AND REMOVED. AS A RESULT, WHITE EMANATES POSITIVE FEELINGS OF
CLEANLINESS AND ORDER, WHICH I NEVITABLY I NSTILLS A SOUND M IND. WHITE,
ALSO MOTIVATES CREATIVITY; IT IS AN ABSENCE OF COLOUR AND IDEAS, AND SO
A BLANK PAGE URGES ONE T O FILL I T WITH CREATIONS. WHITE, BECAUSE I T
REFLECTS ALL COLOURS OF LIGHT, EXPANDS THE PERCEPTION OF SPACE, MAKING
ROOMS FEEL LARGER AND LESS RESTRICTED.

19
 AN ANONYMOUS SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED T O EXPLORE THE F OLLOWING
HYPOTHESIS: COOL COLOURS ARE MORE ASSOCIATED W ITH CALMNESS AND
SHOULD THEREFORE B E IDEAL I N INTERIOR D ESIGN T O MAINTAIN A LESS
STRESSFUL LIFESTYLE. QUESTIONS SUCH AS, WHAT DO YOU ASSOCIATE WITH THE
COLOUR LIGHT BLUE ELICITED SUCH RESPONSE OPTIONS AS: CALM, PRODUCTIVITY,
HAPPINESS, BALANCE, CLEANLINESS, PASSION, CREATIVITY, OPTIMISM, A RADIANT
PERSONALITY, BOREDOM, AND OTHER.
WARM COLOURS WERE ALSO INCLUDED IN THE QUESTIONNAIRE TO SEE HOW
THEIR RESULTS COMPARE TO THE FUNDAMENTAL COOL COLOURS.

THE QUESTIONNAIRE ASKED WHAT SORT OF COLOUR PALETTE WOULD YOUR

IDEAL BEDROOM BE?, WITH OFFERED RESPONSES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
TO: WARM TONES, COOL TONES, LOUD COLOURS, EVEN BALANCE OF WARM AND
COOL, AND MONOCHROME. THE MOST COMMON OPTION WAS WARM TONES:
BLUSH, BROWN, PALE PINKS, CREAMS, WHICH CONTRADICTED THE PREDICTION THAT
THE MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION WOULD INITIALLY SEEK PEACEFULNESS AND
CALM IN COOLER TONES. THE SECOND MOST FAVOURABLE OPTION, HOWEVER,
WAS COOL TONES: TEALS, WHITE, PALE GREY, KHAKI GREEN, WHICH SUPPORTED
THE BASIS OF THE HYPOTHESIS. WHEN ASKED AS TO THE REASON BEHIND THEIR
SELECTION, RESPONSES INCLUDED WORDS SUCH AS, CALM, FRESH, RELAXED,
COZY, SIMPLE. THIS PROVES THAT PEOPLE DO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THEIR
MINDSET WHEN ENVISIONING A COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT. SEVERAL COMMENTS
SUPPORT THE IDEA THAT COOL COLOURS ELEVATE A STRESS-FREE LIFESTYLE:
COOL TONES GIVE ME A COOL FEELING, I AM DRAWN TO THE COLOUR TEAL,
I LOVE THE SOFT AND CALMING COLOURS, AND I WANT TO FEEL LIKE IM IN
THE CLOUDS. THE CONSEQUENCE O F BOREDOM D ID MAKE SEVERAL
APPEARANCES, SUGGESTING THAT COOL COLOURS COULD B E PERCEIVED AS
EXCESSIVELY CALMING TO THE POINT OF BOREDOM, PEOPLE FEELING NUMB TO
THEIR ENVIRONMENT A S THEIR MINDS D ISENGAGE COMPLETELY. THIS LEVEL OF
TRANQUILITY COULD BE DANGEROUS, AND CAN THEREFORE BE CONSIDERED AS
REPULSIVE, S O OPTING FOR WARMER COLOURS T O MAINTAIN THEIR LEVEL OF
PRODUCTIVITY WHILE PURSUING A RELAXED ATMOSPHERE CAN ALSO BE NECESSARY.
THE COLOUR NUDE PINK EVOKED A STRONG SENSE OF CALM, MUCH LIKE THE
COLOUR LIGHT GREY. FROM THIS, THE CONCEPT OF PALE COLOURS, REGARDLESS
OF TEMPERATURE, ARE SEEN TO BE CALMING TO THE MIND BECAUSE THEY ARE
LESS NOTICEABLE, AND CONSEQUENTLY OCCUPY ONES ATTENTION IN A LESS
HARSH MANNER

COLOUR SHOWN

THIS EXPERIMENT SUGGESTS THAT SURROUNDING YOURSELF W ITH A COOL

COLOUR PALETTE COULD HELP MAINTAIN A CALMER, STRESS FREE LIFESTYLE. RE

THE BOOK SHELF INSTEAD OF VIOLET, TOSSING WHITE PILLOWS ON THE SOFA

 THE AIR WAS CRISP. I COULDNT PULL MY GAZE AWAY FROM THE VAST STRETCH
OF RIPPLING WATER UNDERNEATH THE CLEAR SKY, AN AZURE CANVAS SOARING ABOVE A
POOL OF NAVY. MY FACE BASKED IN THE LATE SPRING AFTERNOON SUN AS I STOOD
BEFORE THE BEACH, SO DESPERATELY WANTING TO SINK MY TOES IN THE GOLDEN SAND.
THE TOWN WAS QUIET, BUT NOT STILL. I WATCHED CHILDREN WALK HAND-IN-HAND,
PARENTS PUSHING A STROLLER WITH AN EAGER DOG BY THEIR FEET, A YOUNG COUPLE
REVEL IN THEIR FATED YOUTH - ALL FROM THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE DRIVE WAS TO
TAKE US TO BOTANY BAY. IT WAS A WINDING DRIVE AROUND A NEIGHBOURHOOD, DOTTED
WITH PASTEL BLUE AND GREEN GARAGES AND PRIMLY CUT FRONT LAWNS. ALL WAS AT
EASE.
WHEN WE HAD REACHED THE ENTRANCE OF BOTANY BAY, I FELT . . . FREE.
STANDING ON THE EDGE OF THE CLIFF, WITH ONLY THE SWAYING GRASS AS MY WITNESS,
THE WORLD SLIPPED AWAY. THE FOAMING TIDE DANCED BACK AND FORTH ALONG THE
SHORE, LEAVING DARK PATTERNS I N THE SAND. I SMILED SHYLY A T THE ALABASTER
CLIFFS; IT WAS MY PRECIOUS SOURCE OF PEACE (UNTIL THAT MOMENT, THE DAZZLING
VIEW WAS ONLY EVER SEEN O N A YELLOWING POSTCARD TAPED O N MY BEDROOM
WALL). MY EYELIDS WERE HEAVY, AND FOR A WHILE ALL I COULD FEEL WAS
THE WARMTH ON MY SKIN AND THE WIND IN MY HAIR. WHEN THEY OPENED AGAIN, THE
MOMENT O F REPOSE CEASED T O EXIST. THE A IR WAS COLD. THE SETTING SUN
POISONED THE SKY WITH A SICKLY SCARLET, LOOMING OVER THE SEA THAT HAD TURNED
INTO A DESOLATE BLACK. I WAS NO LONGER WELCOME.
SOMEDAY, I WILL RETURN.

THESE DAYS, I LIKE TO SIT BY MY WINDOW.

NOT BECAUSE ANYTHING EXCITING HAPPENS, NOR IS THERE A PIC-
TURESQUE VIEW TO SPECULATE. ITS THE LIGHT. IN THE EARLY MIN-
UTES OF THE SOFT DAWN GLOW BEHIND THE MORNING MIST, I SIT
AND LISTEN TO MY MUSIC WITH MY HAND CUPPING MY FACE. NOTH-
ING MOVES, S O I STARE, AND S LOWLY CLOSE MY EYES. I TS A
DROWSY HABIT, B UT I H AVE NO I NTENTION O F DOING ANYTHING
ABOUT IT. MY M IND IS C ALM; IM CONTENT. T HIS IS A R ITUAL TO
SOOTHE MY STRESS BEFORE I LET MY SCHEDULE OF THE DAY COR-
RUPT MY MIND AGAIN. THERES NOTHING BETTER THAN LISTENING
TO SUBTLE, FLUID SOUNDS AS I SIT. WITH MY EYES SHUT, AND THE
WORLD O N THE OTHER SIDE O F MY W INDOW, T HE F AINT MUSIC
LULLS ME T O A GENTLE T RANCE. A FEW MINUTES P ASS AND IM
GRADUALLY REMINDED OF MY DUTIES, BUT MY BODY FEELS LIGHT-
ER THAN IT DID WHEN I WOKE UP AN HOUR AGO.
ILL DO THIS AGAIN TOMORROW.

DIREC TED BY HAT TIE DAL TON

Starring Benedict Cumberbatch as a terminally-ill young

man, Third Star is a delicate movie with fierce themes. It tells
the story of the ordinary lives of four best friends as they
embark on a journey to Barafundle Bay. The struggles, doubts
and aspirations of each of these four men resonate with each
individual who desire to cultivate a fulfilled life. From
unemployment, lost love, and the tragedy of sickness, it s not
hard for the audience to empathise. In the moments where they
were stripped of the outside with only each other to lean on,
the touching scenes were shown as transparent sentiments
were revealed to one another.

Each scene felt like a mundane masterpiece; the desaturated

colours heightened the rawness of their emotions. Every
beautiful landscape shot depicting the charming Welsh
countryside evoked a familiar tranquility found only in the
liberation of escape. For over an hour, all worldly concerns
were silenced so that the tale of trust and friendship could be
magnified. The underlying tension of Cumberbatch s character s
impending death was a tainting foreshadowing, and although
the fleeting lines of comedy helped relieve a little uneasiness,
the audience cannot help but anticipate how the story will
come to a meaningful close.

With such a heartfelt tragedy told in such a personal

perspective, framed in breathtaking landscapes and a stirring
soundtrack, Third Star is a film for our own retrospective.

QUIL UNRAVELS THE BEAUTY OF MAINTAINING A CALM,
PEACEFUL, LIFESTYLE, AND HOW TO ACHIEVE IT. WITH A
COLLECTION OF ARTICLES, POEMS, A DIARY ENTRY, AND MANY
MORE WRITTEN PIECES, QUIL IS ALWAYS READY TO BE READ
ON A STRESSFUL DAY. THE IDEA OF GIVING THE ILLUSION
THAT ONE HAS THEIR LIFE TOGETHER IS FREQUENTLY
DISCUSSED AMON THE YOUNGER GENERATION, BUT INSTEAD
OF ACTING COOL AND COLLECTED, QUIL OFFERS A CHANCE
TO TRULY FEEL AT PEACE. IN THE EVER-TRANSFORMING
NATURE OF TODAYS SOCIETY, THE VALUE OF MINDFULNESS
AND QUIET IS OFTEN OVERLOOKED.
