Hi Dien
although I don't know much adout graphics I personally think the headline r/h would look better with a small gap between, every time I look at it I read Hemote Hypnosis, just my humble opinion.

Hi Peter,

Thanks, I didn't even think of that! I've passed your comments on to Steve....

Thanks for sharing your post, now I'm grateful for that... :)

Cheers,

Dien

Do not read if you don't want to know the symbolism behind the graphic.

The rh vs hh dilemna:

Just thought I'd jump in and explain some of the thinking behind the design, however, it is an evolving one, so changes are easy and based on
everybody's comments.

I blended the vertical spacing of the letters in between the two lines to act as an attention grabber, it forces the reader to think twice.
The dichotomy "remote hypnosis" and "he mote hypnosis" is also a play on words, in an attempt
at James Joyce :

------------------------M-W dictionary--------
Main Entry: mote
Function: verbal auxiliary
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English mOtan
to be allowed to -- c.f. MUST
Date: before 12th century
archaic : MAY, MIGHT
----------------------------------------------

thus, of Gordon Alexander, he allows us to remote hypnotise, using the techniques in this book.

I do admit its a bit hidden, but Im like that.

There are other symbolic elements to the picture:
on the horizon, we have the remote hypnotist overseeing an electronic circuit board landscape.
This represents the building block of modern communications system and the internet, our medium of exchange and our remote hypnosis platform.
The rosetta stone symbolizes language, and is our tool for hypnosis.
And of course, the pictogrim, our target, being suffused with thought waves coming from the hypnotists pineal region.

Thus, to summarise, my understanding of remote hypnosis is shown graphically as our target exisitng in an electronic communication landscape and being remotely hypnotised by information from the remote hypnotist.
