Most Influential Designer Of Our Time??
By Paul • About: Apple at 3:01 pm on March 4 2008When you think of Apple what do many of you think? I would put my money on form over function. It’s design. The hardware seems to be an afterthought much of the time. That is not to say it does not matter, and as an avid Apple junkie I need great performance as much as design but it leads me to think. Who is more important? Apple’s designers or it’s engineers? As Apple gets bigger and this trend of it being the “cool” company to get behind continues, will the designer be more important?
Searching the tubes today I stumbled upon a cool video about Jonathan Ives, Vice-President Design for Apple Inc. He has been behind many different projects, even outside of Apple, which have given him industry acclaim, however I am sure the average consumer has no idea who he is. It’s a neat little video that I am sure most of you will enjoy.
Ives is best known for designing the iMac, iPod and iPhone. If you would like to know more about Jonathan take a look here.

Paul is Altgn's token Canadian. When he's not oogling over electronics and Apple he's probably out drinking beer, eating beaver tails, riding moose, watching the leaf game or all the above.
