Thanks for the feedback Michelle! :)

We were only just discussing the idea of splitting the print run into two colour options. Fuchsia is bound to polarise and turquoise is a great alternate. Thank you!

It was inspiring to listen to you talk about your passions and email marketing Brad. Since that day I've been making a list of what I could use this kind of marketing for... still not ready to jump in yet... watching the pros for now :)

Some incredible concepts here! I made the comment yesterday that it's a shame clock making is a lost art... I'll have to rephrase that now!

The day/night top concept is fantastic. I also love the Arthur Yung + Clement Cheung: ‘Decode Clock.’ - that's great use of negative an positive space in design.

Re: Will any of the losties tell Ben that they were in Dharma days and Sayid shot him?

Manz — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 20:21:43 -0000

Just to be picky, he already knows they ended up in Dharma times (he sees the Namaste photo with Kate, Jack & Hurley)... the poll question implies he doesn't know yet... (told you I was being picky!)

Hummm... I think that the CAPS could have been purely an art direction thing... so we the audience didn't miss it. Who knows! We all will soon enough!

Re: Wasn't Christian in the Well? by Locke4God

Wow, the plot to LOST really does get a reaction and it's never the same!
Before I add my 2cents worth, I just want to ask - has anyone given Jacks Grandfather a thought? When Jack visits him and gets the shoes, there seemed to be a little more going on there...? Has Grandpa been on the Island?

To Christian/MIB/Smokey - I thought that they are simply one in the same. That MIB is the smoke monster and so is Christian. That most of the visions people have seen of others have come from the smoke monster and it's attempt to manipulate; firstly to find his loophole and secondly to kill Jacob. People have mentioned when Ben falls and sees Alex - she was the smoke monster. Christian in the Cabin was the smoke monster - broken ash indicates that Jacob would not be safe from smokey and therefore no longer there... Smokey took over the cabin knowing Locke would look for Jacob once more for answers.

I think MIB is smokey for a few reasons - one of which is food references. I get the sense that Jacob was teasing MIB when he asked if he wanted some fish? And when he finds his loophole with Locke, and eats the mango, he is now tasting food for the first time in a very long time. Maybe being able to assume Lockes form is different to all the others due to Locke being a candidate. But he can't kill the candidates, so finding a way to bring Locke back to the island dead, was his loophole. (remembering that Flocke/smokey was the one that told Locke he must die!)

The timeline does make me wonder though. You brought up a great point! I had thought that smokey being "energy" could access memories and what not - but thinking about how he says "say hi to my son" questions that in my mind.... You've got me thinking again Locke4God!

so I wasn't the only one who felt recon was mediocre... it wasn't bad, however I felt like I didn't take away a lot from it. Seemed almost like a catch up for the characters on screen - if that makes sense!

Been waiting for more of this back story! The images are such a tease!! Very cool costume and art direction too.

Re: Sawyer's Rope in the Ground Keeps the Island Afloat by Man in Red

Manz — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 18:37:31 -0000

Definitely thought provoking... I had the same theory in that episode with the rope - that it would be the key to Dharma (or "ancients") finding the wheel. If you came across a rope going into the ground, you'd want to see where it led to! However, I've come to the resolution that not all within the show can be over analysed and agree with Leonldris that it probably won't have "that big of importance".

Also, your comment "Seeing the Island under water in the alt" isn't entirely true - last episode tells us that the Dharma Initiative still existed, and that Ben and his father still went to the Island, and the left... when/how/why... that's the new questions I was left with at the end of that episode!

Detour Designables has some of the best LOST designs online! For those who don't know, the "Back to the Island" design is a winning design!! Deservingly so!

I love where reflections are captured in the lens - therefore making image 9 my favourite. It's intriguing.

Converse rock! Cool post.

Re: Episode 6x04 "The Substitute" - The Candidates

Manz — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 16:35:36 -0000

maybe she's part of the group Jacob brought to the island as a manipulator to the boys (jack/Sawyer)... without her on the island, things would play out differently.

Re: Snowscape

Manz — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 17:33:33 -0000

You're right, I would have assumed this was a black and white image. If you still have the snow hanging around, I'd love to see what you could do with some bright spot colour - like letting a red balloon loose in front of the trees and capturing that.

You have forgotten the conversation Jack has with Claire's mother once off the Island... he knows Claire is his sister.

If I want to know what side you're on with regards to this debate, I need only look at the header for this blog - which works regardless of it's size ;)

"At the end, the answers might come from the web design community, if it decides to fight for the right to Flash." It would be nice if designers had that power... but do we?

While I love Flash, my use of it is often dictated by the clients reaction to it, which often stems from what they think their target market thinks about it.

There are more internet users than web designers, giving me reason to think they're the ones who will make the decision.

It's great that they're pulling their finger out and putting it in a better time slot... but I still won't be able to wait... I'll be downloading!
