Overview: Colours in the Dark are a young team of digital media students from the North East of England. They create multi-media projects for young people to inspire positive messages in their created videos and art.

History: Colours In The Dark was founded in November 2009 by Emma Napper and two other girls, who were previously in the group but recently have left the team. Joining the team a few weeks later while still in the process of creating Colours In The Dark and also still choosing a name were Liam Dawson and two other students. They were later joined by Daniel Scott and two other students. The team chose the name Colours In The Dark which was suggested by Emma. It means the pieces of media they produced were to bring hope and happiness to people especially when things weren’t going right. The first piece of digital media they created was Who Helps Me, which was put up on the 4docs website “http://www.4docs.org.uk/competition/view/265/Who+Helps+Me”. This showed people that there is always somebody out there who can help people.

Current Activities: Colours in the Dark have recently completed the following activities •	“Who helps me” a video made for a channel 4 documentary about who inspires and gives you a helping hand in life. •	Stop-motion animation video’s made about self management, these subjects included planning your time, asking for help and time management •	Food photography, the team arranged food and capture it and make it look appeasing like they do on the adverts. •	Portrait photography. •	Mixed media art, this was a mixed subject about all sorts of different art techniques and types •	Prezi presentation, this was made about a job they chose that suited what they would like to do in the future.
