在大多数人的字典中,设计意味着华丽的虚饰,是室内装潢,是沙发皮质的面料。但对我来说,没有什么能远离设计。设计是产品的灵魂,灵魂通过产品和服务的外观表达自己。

it’s not about pop culture, and it’s not about fooling people, and it’s not about ving people that they want something they don’t. we figure out what we want. and i think we’re pretty good at having the right discipline to think through whether a lot of other people are going to want it, too. that’s what we get paid to do.
look at the mercedes design, the proportion of sharp detail to flowing lines. over the years they've made the design softer but the details starker. that’s what we have to do with the matosh. if i knew in 1986 how mubsp;it was goin#小说 g to cost to keep pixar going, i doubt if i would have bought the pany.

不是源于流行文化,不是欺骗大众,不是劝说人们购买他们不需要的产品。我们要设计自己想要的产品。同时,我认为我们擅长判断多数人是否也需要这种产品。这是我们应该做的。
看看梅赛德斯的设计吧,流线型线条中那些锐利的细节。许多年过去了,他们的设计变得更加柔和,但细节也变得更加朴实无华。我们设计的mac机也应该如此。
如果我在1986年知道经营皮克斯公司需要花费多少资金的话,我就得考虑到底应该不应该购买这家公司。</p>
