APPLE DESIGN This book explains the history of industrial design of Apple 20 years together with abundant mockup photograph which makes me think that it is possible to publish so far. Along with the history of Apple, it has clarified the code name of the product, the course of the design, the composition of the design team such as internal designer or outsider, etc. In addition to simply honoring the achievement of industrial design, it is constructed so that the process of growth and transformation of Apple Inc. can be seen through design history. Regarding Original Apple II, Jerry Manock's design concept, the background of plastic case manufacturing, the episode related to the logo concept, the relationship with frog design on Apple IIc's design etc. are carefully described. Author’s PAUL KUNNEL is a free writer living in New York and seems to be doing a lot of writing to industrial design magazines. At the end of the book, CEO's Amelio at that time, "Final Word" showing Apple’s vision was posted on 3 pages, and the full backup and enthusiasm for Apple’s book is conveyed. The last word is closed to "It’s time to forward. The Journey is reward" is implicit if it overlaps with the subsequent flow of resignation of Amelio and return of Jobs. |

version.
Together with
Mr. Kazutoshi Otani's accurate translation, the whole layout, the number
of pages and the paper quality has been faithfully reproduced in the
original book and it has become a wonderful finish.
It is expected that a great deal of labor was required to finish so far in
a short period of time. |
DESIGN CLASSICS THE APPLE MACINTOSH
The genealogy of Apple design is
explained in detail in the book “Apple Design”, but this book is one of
the series of design commentary books made by West German, 49 pages
compact, while Woz and Jobs with Apple 1, Jobs' home of Cupertino
Photographs of the garage etc. are posted.
For some reason the history of the
digital technology was explained on the first few pages and there are
pictures of ENIAC's full view developed at the University of Pennsylvania
in 1946.

APPLE T-SHIRTS The author Gordon Thygeson is a software
test engineer and has a relationship with Apple in numerous projects since
1992.
Originated from Santa Clara, since 1978, many relatives and friends seem
to have brought involvement with Apple.
In 1994, he was
impressed strongly by "Apple Confidential" and he thought that he wanted
to make Apple history through T - shirts led to this book.
It will be fun
just watching over 1,000 T - Shirts posted, but not only to convey the
pleasures of the collection, but also the history of Apple's intention
intended by the author is accompanied by the aligned T – shirts. It is
amazing that there are new discoveries even when I look at the book many
times, emerging from his short comments.
