In this episode we discus the color magenta, typographic weight systems, and the future of graphic design and design movements. We’re still working on audio issues, we’re going to go get Aaron a better microphone, and we’re going to try to continue to improve the quality of the show. We also introduce our phone number 646-402-5686 extension 20248. Leave us a question.
