Design and Function
The NY Times Sunday Magazine focuses on design this week. (Free, but registration required. It's worth it.) The whole issue is a good, entry-level approach to design concepts, but here's one very important quote from
an article on the iPod by Rob Walker:
"Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like,'' says Steve Jobs, Apple's C.E.O. ''People think it's this veneer -- that the designers are handed this box and told, 'Make it look good!' That's not what we think design is. It's not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.''
