Jonathan Ive, Father of Invention

His transparent plastic iMac, the neat iPod, the iBook, the G4 Cube and the Titanium PowerBook are icons. They single-handedly remind us of the power of elegant, emotional design. Friends say the roots of his success lie in his lateral thinking -- finding the true appeal of an object, often ignoring the traditional approach to design. The iPod is like a cigarette pack for those addicted to music instead of tobacco. On a grey afternoon ... Ive's designs were rejected. Shortly afterwards Ive went to the US ... [and Apple] offered him a job. A special thanks to England for grey afternoons! |
