Considering how much I enjoy Apple specifically for its innovative design work, this exhibition book was a huge disappointment as neither the articles nor the illustrated content was very inspiring. The issue with the essays, written mostly by foreign academics with ties to the hosting museum, I assume is largely an issue of translation and style. I've long abandoned academic journals and their pompous overtones for more accessible content, and unfortunately the majority of museum exhibition books and art history tomes still engage in this style of snobbery. Since most of the authors are also German (as was the hosting institution), I assume that the original text was German and therefore the translation therein causes a sense of disconnect. Once I got to the second half of the book, which presented a timeline of Apple and its various products designed by Johnathan Ive, I figured that I was in safe territory, but yet again I was underwhelmed. The exhibition pieces were well laid out in terms of page design, but there was no accompanying text to give us any context. Sure, the preliminary essays were supposed to play that role to an extent, but side by side content would have drawn out a lot more potential thought, even if it does break with Apple's über minimalist stylings. I am sure that some museum (or iMuseum if Apple continues to develop as a brand and company) will do another exhibition on the topic, so I hope that next time around they do a better job of it.

Easily one of the most influential and popular design companies of our era, Apple has made electronics design history with its innovative iMacs, iPhones, iPods and iPads. Apple Design features over 200 examples of outstanding Apple designs by Jonathan Ive (born 1967), the company's Senior Vice President of Industrial Design, who since 1997 has been responsible for the design of all of Apple's products. Over the past decade, Ive and his team of designers have created elegant and user-friendly designs that have significantly advanced the brand's cult status as it enters the new millennium. Examining each of these in detail, and with full color throughout, Apple Design compares various approaches to industrial design alongside Apple's, and casts light on numerous aspects of its history, deepening our understanding of contemporary industrial design. Following an analysis of the forms and functions of the featured Apple products, the book provides an explanation of the innovative production methods and materials applied. Last but not least, it examines Apple design's overt references to the simplified forms of the products manufactured by the great German brand Braun, and enumerates the famous "Ten Rules for Good Design" promulgated by the company's chief designer, Dieter Rams, showing in each case how Apple has deployed and fulfilled them.
