"the butterfly effect"

Hey everyone,, im finally in! I was having a bad week with every electronic device I own that’s why it took me forever to post this (sry khalid).

I really enjoyed reading all your posts, a bunch of them inspired me with some ideas.

After attending my first "interruptions" meeting the other day, I somehow remembered the movie "the butterfly effect". When we were talking about experimenting more, I sort of imagined creating different scenarios for the same scene,,, this somehow relates to Nadine's post , if we were to freeze a moving instant, as an act of interruption, and somehow imagine different scenarios for the moment that would follow, that would be an interesting experiment, what do u think? Or maybe the interruption could exceed freezing the moment to actually implementing several acts that would interrupt the scene and see how each act of interruption could lead to a different scenario,, just thinking out loud….

the sound manipulation of the word 'interruptions' in Arabic is a very interesting idea and an experiment by itself, I actually believe that these Arabic phrases can actually be the guiding elements or titles throughout the whole edition,, since we're interrupting "بالعربي" maybe each article or topic can be titled with the most suitable phrase of the ones Rula wrote down, again just thinking out loud.

Personally i liked " إن تباين" the most, I believe it could be the title of an article that would compare between 2 similar interruptions having different effects , i've got some ideas for places that would be perfect for such a ""تبايُن
and willing to dig more into this.


Last thing,( I promise :p), someone suggested at the meeting, I think it was rula, that the magazine could include some pages with certain patterns and that only one element would stand out within the pattern or something like that, I think these kinds of graphics represent the magazine the best, maybe for this edition the patterns could be related to Arabic culture , and so on in each edition the patterns would relate to the theme.

sorry if I gave you all a headache going on and on like that :p …
