I will be holding my seminar series "The Phenomenon of Colour" again in 2025.

I am thinking of designing an info-poster for it. If any former students/participants have artwork that I can use for the posters, please feel free to send it my way !

Details of the 2024 edition:

I will be adding a new seminar: "Colour in Informatics" to the programme.

I've had a go at adding a very rough simulation of colour vision deficiency to my colour palette maker, so I don't accidentally pick colours that look fine for me but are indistinguishable to someone with different colour vision.

I spent 10 minutes looking up perceptual models of CVD then gave up and just did what Firefox dev tools does and scaled down the R, G or B components 😅

I'm afraid I couldn't figure out the zoom logistics on time, so it is in-person only.
