Great design does not come from great processes; it comes from great designers.
— Fred Brooks interviewed in this month’s Wired.

Jonathan Ive talks Apple design. This is the guys that needs to some day take over as Apple spokesman if they know what’s good for them.

Dear Aptify…

Not just in design.

The reason large companies with bad design are the way they are is because they are run poorly from the top, with philosophies that force the entire company to behave like its lowest common denominator. The company ends up making bad products. It ends up treating its customers badly. And if the company is being run by people who don’t have taste, it gets stuck. Eventually, the company’s brand suffers.
— Dustin Curtis, who got so fed up with American Airline’s godawful website that he redesigned it for them. This is from a response to a response from an AA designed.
