but just not in this example I would suggest - which is a classic example of a manufacturer just not caring about design
what makes and lets down a product is attention to detail, it’s a lesson you all need to take on board - it will often be the little things in projects that really make the difference - don’t be tempted to leave all those bits unfinished and unresolved or be prepared to accept the defaults software gives you - fonts matter, composition matters, materials matter, image resolution matters etc etc
apple however is rightfully known for their industrial design and not just in the superficiality of what they look like - check the new macbook pro manufacturing technique, the new trackpads, the use of multitouch, the magsafe connectors etc etc and even the packaging - it’s not for nothing that they (and in particular their british product designer jonathan ive) win so many design awards
why do you think you do not know the names of a single designer of other laptops bar the token celebrity designer endorsements?
for a much better example of where apple ripped off their black screen against aluminium look for the new macbook pros, have a look at this which was launched nearly 18 months ago
apple’s source for the ripped off macbook pro designs
ps god is in the details is a quote usually attributed to mies van de rohe the godfather of modernism of which apple industrial design philosophy continues to keep alive
pps NEVER TAUNT A FANBOY!!!!!!!
its so wow.. amazing!
how do they do it?
funny how these things happen - jamie was tellig me about rafael lozano hemmer in class the other day - it sounded interesting so I thought I would organise him to show the project in london for you
I thought about the bentall centre but in the end decided somewhere central would be better so from this weekend only you can see the under scan project (loads of fun with shadows and tracking)on the terrace directly in front of the national gallery in trafalgar square
more about the project here
and he’s doing a talk at the ICA on saturday (only £4)
Some extreme modeling to match Frank Millers vision of Batman.
