Then they released some ads for the 5c, and I kid you not, one of the ads had sounds of bleating farm animals. The colors were horrid, and when you add those Crocs-like cases it looks more like a Fisher-Price toy than like a device an executive would want to be seen holding. Apple's post-Steve products are nowhere near as well-designed.Ĭonsider iPhone 5c, for example, which was the first post-Steve-Jobs design. He designed them under Steve Jobs's guidance and direction. But these products weren't designed by Jony Ive all by himself. Michael Heilemann, Interface Director at Squarespace wrote, "when I look at I see anti-patterns and basic mistakes that should have been caught on the whiteboard before anyone even began thinking about coding it." And famed blogger John Gruber said this about iOS 7: "my guess is that would not have supported this direction."Īnd what about Jony's other responsibility, industrial design? The iPod, iPhone, iPad, MacBook Air and other Apple products from Jobs era are all amazingly well designed and breathtakingly beautiful. About this, Tumblr co-founder Marco Arment wrote: "If iOS 8 can’t remove any of these options, it's a design failure." (And iOS 8 didn't.) In iOS 7 basic usability features such as making buttons look like buttons are now stuffed under Accessibility options. That's a momentous change: iOS used to be so obvious." This is what some prominent people have said about iOS 7, which was the first flat-design iOS: The Verge wrote in their review: "iOS 7 isn't harder to use, just less obvious.
APPLE PRODUCT DESIGN HAS IMPROVED JONY SOFTWARE
Let's consider Jony's performance on software design first. It's not anger or contempt it's sadness that real living butterflies aren't widely understood, and hope that the stereotyped depiction can be improved on. I think you're misreading the tone of that article and the people citing it. There's a very consistent quirk in the way butterflies in particular are illustrated. Now, whether you care about this is another matter, but it's hard to deny that that article is onto something. (The 1% is detailed, realistic drawings.) Second, filtering the same search with "image type: clip art", fully 99% of the results have the wings spread out and stretched up. None of the real butterflies have their wings stretched upwards in the pinned-out posture. The most common is wings open, spread out horizontally. Sure, I get it, “ha ha, look you idiots that’s not the natural pose of butterflies, you guys and gals have been getting fooled and I’m not”įirst, searching for "butterflies", I get many different photos of real butterflies in various postures. What about flower photography? Why don’t they use shriveled up wilted flowers for Valentine’s Day? Why do they look for perfect specimens? Why should depictions of butterflies depart from a pose that exposes more of their recognizable and appreciated features? You get their headshot not a profile pic or a pic of the backs of their heads. When we have a concert T-shirt of a performer you more often than not get a more of less straight on shot. The same could be said of lots of things. When did you last see a toilet door with a natural picture of a person rather than an iconic outline? But it’s the same for other exemplary of iconic models. Iconic ones, yes, typically, but some are drawn in flight, feeding, and wings fanned out but not unnaturally.
Not all the “dead” one are drawn to show and highlight their wing geometry and colors.
