Two new shirts in the
uselog shirtshop.
"Design is not a matter of democracy"
Time to show your love for
Hartmut Esslinger, founder of
frog design, and creator of Apple's
Snowwhite design language (applied in amongst others the first
Apple Macintosh). To do this I present to you the Hartmut Esslinger fanshirt, featuring a remarkably Michael Knight-like portrait of old Hartmut, and my favorite
quote of his: "
Design is not a matter of democracy." For all of you who hate designing products in a committee.
Ceci n'est pas un lecteur mp3
There are of course two reasons why this shirt does not show an mp3 player. First of all, as René Magritte pointed out with when labeling his painting of a pipe with "
Ceci n'est pas une pipe" is that you are not looking at an mp3 player, but at an image of an mp3 player. Secondly, it's actually not an mp3 player, it's an iPod, which by now we can consider '
hors-categorie' in the product category of mp3 players. If you'll pardon my French.
