When Jobs designs things, sometimes you get an extreme focus on simplicity ("Why can't this CD burner have just one button that says 'burn CD'?") and sometimes you get skeuomorphic atrocities like Game Center. I don't think Jobs was a designer per se. He set ambitious goals for other designers to accomplish, maybe. Jobs was great at recognizing talent, motivating talent, browbeating talent until it quit, and then taking credit for whatever that talent accomplished.
