“Photographic art, or fine art photography, is the creation of images intended as artistic expressions rather than purely documentary or commercial purposes. It encompasses a wide range of styles and techniques, utilising the inherent qualities of photography to convey the artist's vision and emotions. Contemporary artists employ both traditional and digital methods to manipulate light, exposure, and other elements,”

Since I started my role as Head of Communications at Mastodon, I’ve been finding my surroundings becoming more and more… purple.

Our brand palette is a set of purple / indigo hues, and of course, I want to represent the organisation appropriately! 😄

I now have a couple of pairs of glasses with varieties of purple frames. Naturally, I also got a purple (sort of) watch band as well.

[side note – I am now a big fan of IOLLA, a Scottish brand, who made one of the pairs I’m now wearing regularly – they have brilliantly-designed clip-on sunglasses too]

I’ve also taken advantage of Framework’s new translucent purple laptop accessories, and have added a bezel and a couple of USB-C expansion modules in that colourway.

Working on being fully on-brand – new transparent purple bezel for my #FrameworkLaptop (and some transparent purple expansions too, not visible from this angle).

Oh, and I made a GNOME Shell user theme that uses the brand colours, with a little SVG Fediverse logo for the app menu, configured using the ArcMenu extension).

On a more technical side, I also made some small tools to create LibreOffice and macOS colour palettes out of lists of colours in text files. One hundred percent connected to the fact that I wanted to use the right colour scheme in documents and presentations 👍
