This is my final project for my undergraduate degree in Graphic Design. I've spent the last few months collecting data, interviewing industry-leading designers, crafting the message, and actually creating the thing. I hope you find it helpful.
Is the Apple/Braun comparison often made? I had no idea. And it's quite striking. I had certainly thought, begrudgingly, that Apple were the sole inspiration behind their work - how naive of me.
I'm either in need of a good designer for my startup, or in need of a little more inspiration like this to draw on simple first principles to get me through.
Yep! Several blogs / design sites have talked about it over the last few years – I think Gizmodo was one of the first very popular sites to cover it (back in the day...). Rams has also talked about it, and shown nothing but respect and admiration for Apple's design and how many people they've been able to affect with it.
