I have not been around in a while but thought this would be appropriate to bring up and post as her work has been such an enjoyable part of the WDW experience. "It’s with great sadness that I pass on that yesterday at 4:12 pm, my Aunt, ex Disney Costume Designer Marilyn Sotto-Erdmann lost her...

This is what we've been up to. Thought you may be interested. As you can see, something like this is all consuming. Ciao for now! www.skyachtone.com http://robbreport.com/videos/aviation/making-sky-yacht-one-robb-report-ultimate-gift

So it's been a long time since we logged on in 2009, and I think I've answered most questions at least once, or at least tried. So after thinking it over, I have decided to leave on a high note and make this the last day of the thread. Time to lock up. November 1st is upon us. Thank you all so...

Tomorrow is an interesting day as the new iPad Air comes out. I accidentally dropped my old 1G iPad down a flight of stairs today and watched it bounce and carom all the way down, silently hoping something bad would happen to it, giving me an excuse to tell my wife that I'm running out to get...

In many cases you saw them in sight of the actual pavilion, so it was not like they were entirely abstract.

Signs are a big deal. Which roadside stand would you perceive had fresher strawberries, the one with an elaborate animated "Fresh Strawberries" neon sign, or the one with a giant handpainted strawberry with black scrawled letters on cardboard?

Poster child of "everything is special". Note the "flotilla" of ornament surrounding the soft drink information on the sign. If you can find the type in there among the microscopic logos. Even if the paper card within was slid down, the problem still exists. I'm not gonna get into the generic...

This design article says it better than I did and quotes a variation from the Incredibles. http://www.kaplusa.com/blog/2009/12/brand-messaging-when-everything-is-special-nothing-is/

It's something I've known that comes from graphic design in that you have to know the focus of the scene and on MSUSA in Paris we had many signs being over designed that begged for attention but did not deserve it. Minor signs give way to the grand marquees. We simplified them in a grander...

You can live on property at Golden Oak Homes. Take a virtual tour.. http://www.disneygoldenoak.com http://live.wsj.com/video/you-can-now-live-in-disney-world/7EDE4E5B-AE26-437B-9D37-F44A0BC674A7.html?mod=trending_now_video_4#!7EDE4E5B-AE26-437B-9D37-F44A0BC674A7

Great..Good example. Like any good symphony, there have to be rests to make the crescendos seem high.

There is adding "character" or "warmth" then there is bad design. "Lattice work" is desperation. It's funny how the use of wood in signage in any form seems taboo. Today wood is the most modern upcycled material you can get.

3D printing is a trend direction for sure. We discussed it a while back and now I want one!

Mavericks has been getting good reviews, so eventually I'll upgrade. FCP mess could have been easily avoided by doing "iMovie Pro" and leaving FCP alone, making it better,not stripping it.

I have not upgraded yet, and Mavericks has gotten good reviews, but if the reviews (in the App store) for the new versions of Pages, iPhoto, Keynote, iMovie and Numbers are any indication, they are dumbing down the intuition and usefulness of their best software for the sake of change, for...

It's better. It does not require 5 clicks to find out how to navigate somewhere. It's interesting to note that the EPCOT iOS7 "icons" are so vague that you need additional "flat buttons" below in text to explain what they are. Very 2013 Apple for sure.

Glad you enjoy DLP, we did too! Good News...It is Bradbury, we used their papers almost exclusively at DLP where they were first used in a park. Later on, I was involved in redoing some of Main Street at Disneyland and we used them there as well. Today they have a big selection, as in 1992 there...

I have done the Hawaii family vacation thing and for us it was expensive. Food there is generally high, but I enjoy going there and the kids did too. I may take them to WDW once, but the lines for everything and the whole mechanical way you are "processed" is not relaxing to me. When I went as a...

My favorite article on Skeuomorphic design so far and the comments sections is the real payoff. I fall on managing it, not killing it. Like Walt's penchant for nostalgia, or for having one "foot" in the past and one in the future, seems relevant to the discussion. Disneyland is SM in a way...

It reminds me of suburban shopping centers with the parking lot in front and Best Buy in the distance. I still think disguising the line could have been solved by winding the queue between barrels, casework and other market house items so when the line is short, the space is still richly...
