Why so many designers are Mac enthusiasts

Talk April 22, 2009

Idling through an older issue of mac|life and reading the articles regarding the Macbook Air (which was the latest at the time of the issue) … and suddenly it hits me: this is what is so different about us.

We (designers) can get terribly enthused by stuff… like, well this master piece of aesthetics: the Apple Air. Or some typography. Or a visually interesting web page. Or just… plain white space.

We are not like the ones who just trott our way to work and back, get a computer, sit on Facebook and then go, oh, it blinks, this is cool, look mama, it blinks.
