Jony Ive didn’t just win the lottery and get to design for Apple, het got to design for Apple because he’s great at design.
Armchair designers can whine all they want but they were the same know it all’s who ridiculed EarPods when they came out (haha it’s like a toothbrush) and every Apple product before then.
Of course not all these products became a runaway success. But a pretty significant amount of them changed the world.
- alephnan 5y agoIt almost seems people here hasn't had experience building a resume of creative work. I used to do poetry, and you take risks, and sometimes it doesn't land the way you expect it to. We look at great artists and remember their greatest works, but forget about all the mediocre crap they produced. Ridley Scott or Christopher Nolan, they take risks, and produce a movie that's a little too high browed and is not engaging or compelling as they envisioned, but they've already committed, launch it, and wait for the next cycle.
