  1. Not sure. What do you/people think?


  2. Are you going to pro­duce them sir?


  3. I think It could be very nice all together in one frame…


  4. Very Nice.


  5. I really like them – annoy­ingly sim­ple – in a good way..


  6. Nice. Just one of those things we do as design­ers I sup­pose. I dont know if it has enough sub­stance for any­thing com­mer­cial, I sup­pose it comes from an art pov. Hav­ing said that Mr. C. Place, full respect, you’ve done enough now to be able to get away with things like this! : ) And they always look bet­ter for it.

    Best wishes.
    Jamesy.


  7. Where can I buy these?!


  8. Hello, they aren’t avail­able to buy, it’s just an idea at the moment.


  9. Hello Sir, I want my Time Code in Pantone.

  10. first 3 (666, yel­low­sub­ma­rine, pi) are very nice ideas, after that its way too farfetched


  11. love them!


  12. I’d love to see a book of these… edu­ca­tion by colour :D


  13. Yeah, I think they have legs…


  14. Nice idea. I have my Mac set to rotate these post­cards as tiled wall­pa­per by the hour and it’s been a won­der­ful color/informative experience.


  15. kudos Mr. Build,
    the net dis­cus­sion comes to live again through your work.


  16. I am fac­ing a bit dif­fi­culty under­stand this sim­ple color pic­ture. The pic­ture rep­re­sents what? Thanks in advance.


  17. I agree with Jay, first 3 are excel­lent. Clever with­out being all too sub­tle. The rest are bril­liant but don’t have the same imme­di­acy maybe, and so that lessens their impact. Beau­ti­ful though, just lovely.


  18. con­grat­u­la­tions great work, great idea and great site

    hello from Mexico

    add me the mail­ing list


  19. LOL @ sec­ond comment


  20. IT’S JUST TOTALLY SIMPLE WITH PANTONES BUT AS SOMEONE SAID, COULD NOT UNDERSTAND CLEARLY. WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED THAT MEANS?
    REPRESENTS WHAT?
    I’M MAJORING IN GRAPHIC DESIGN NOW, WANT YOU HEAR YOU ABOUT THAT WORKS.
