The Keynote at the 2010 WWDC is just hours away. I’m not going to speculate on what Mr. Jobs will be announcing, but iPhone on the T-Mobile network would be nice.
Just saying.
I saw this yesterday. I am reposting the whole bit as it all seems like a quote from Steve Jobs, with significant meaning is terms of all design, especially set design. I hope that I have not misappropriated someone else’s words or interpretation.
When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people.
Unfortunately, that’s too rare a commodity. A lot of people in our industry haven’t had very diverse experiences. So they don’t have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem.
The broader one’s understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have.
