Ep 250: UK grey! Talking to applied colour psychology expert Justine Fox about colour in the urban environment and its impact on mental health
We're heading into dark nights season. These panic-fuelled days can be tough. Here in the UK I often lament the dreary, soggy, TO-LET addled high streets and the way they assail already tested moods. So I picked up the colour psychologist bat phone and called Justine Fox. Justine is an expert in applied colour psychology and we're getting into the opportunity to do more with our urban environments, to promote more consideration for the impact of colour, and what needs to happen to shift perception away from luxury and folly to a key player in the visual...

What is 'evolutionary mismatch' and what can we learn from this comforting feeling about the foundations of our creativity? Please take a moment to rate, review, and subscribe to th...

Ep 248: The personal brand. Standing out by being yourself to the extreme.
I don't care what you do. I care who you are. What moves you, what excites you, what you're bad at, what you find funny, what trauma you've suffered. That's your brand. Not your logo, or website, or profession. These things matter, but without knowing yourself and projecting it in everything you do, they are irrelevant. Today I'm discussing a recent loss of confidence, how it was remedied, and what I learned about the personal brand I always trusted and made a creative industry career possible.

AI TERMS EMERGENCY
Seemingly overnight, Meta, Adobe, and Squarespace, among others, have issued robust terms to users that would see creative industry professionals surrender their work to train Artificial Intelligence models. This is a ramble from a confused illustrator who would rather not hit the big red button on Instagram, and would rather not have to quit Photoshop for the last time. But what does it mean to accept such an invasion of privacy, and how do we all feel? It's a worrying precedent and a corporate play that suggests the tightening of the net in late-stage capitalism.
