99: Colour Theory with Graham

Hyperfixations

08/02/24 • 81 min

Yellow and blue makes green! Yellow and blue makes green!

Content warning: this episode contains mentions of bodily functions (urination), mental illness

Editor's note - Graham's audio becomes a bit choppy in the middle of the episode, I have done my best to clean it up, it does return to normal

This week, Graham, sits down with Ally and Nigel for their first episode back to discuss colour theory. In this episode we discuss the difference between colours of light and colours for printers, how to stand out, the importance of saturation, and why brown isn't actually a colour, and it only gets more fucked up from there.

Graham has no social media he would like to plug, but he would like you to check out his Spotify and his design portfolio (please note: it isn't mobile friendly, so view from a desktop for the best experience)

Beep beep! We've got a live broadcast, beaming straight in on satellite: Big T joins us on the sports desk, all the way from sunny Colorado. We're touching down on all the important stuff in the lead-up to Superbowl Sunday, using both soft and hard hitting journalism to answer (some of) the big questions, like who are the best teams, how much has the Superbowl affected American culture, and just how exactly does this whole thing work. And also, some capitalist critiques, because hey, it's us.
