Envelope Test Responses: December 16, 1999 - January 15, 2000

Happy New Year! The image for this testing session is a promotional photo from the movie "Harold and Maude." A cult classic and social satire about a suicidal rich boy who becomes friends with a 79-year-old woman whose eccentric views provide some solace in his life. This is a cult classic and was released in 1971. Any thoughts on the results of the test?

Our friend Pangea graciously sent in thoughts on the results:

"well, I guess I will need to watch the movie to see if there are any subtle connectors to Star Wars. It is movie related, so I feel like I was sort of on the right track.

Uchanga saw a letter C, and the last names of the actors begin with G (a more closed C) and C. Both of the actors names contain a U, and Maude contains a U.

Olga got trees and snow; the picture contains vegetation, and the actors are dressed in heavy winter clothes.

Renate seems to be describing the process of projecting a movie onto a screen, what do you think?"

I think those are excellent impressions. Thanks, Pangea!

Impressions: An open circle, like a C, or a horseshoe, but more closed, on a grey background,

Impressions: it's like looking at a landscape painting, where everything is far off and kind of foggy, but there's a clock there with a feeling of Leonardo daVinci.

Impressions: Immediate thought ...a grid, not all lines ending in a straight line. Inside the grid dots in various colours.
