Say that enough and you'll become a nihilist.
You can take it in two ways: it matters a lot because new designers don't seem to be being afforded the time to hone their craft as their senior cohorts, which points to all sorts of interesting ramifications for the field
Or, it speaks to the dangers of using agency talent, whose priorities and values may not align with the brand. Apple is world-renowned for their attention to detail and this could be the work of an intern/contractor.
Or, it's a goofy mistake that somehow made it into production.
Whichever, I found it interesting enough to post.
I'm not sure I'm quite at nihilism yet, maybe a few more poorly made icons and I'll make it.
Can you show me an example of (in your opinion) great craft? I'd be interested to see what you think the level to be at is. (Honestly no snark).
Sure thing, I've been obsessed with iconography since OS X Cheetah.
I'd agree with @sdw and @bdc, but you're holding Eli Schiff up as an example of great craft? I get that people like his criticism, but it's always in the "you don't have to be a great designer to be a great critic" vein. Ignoring his disgusting politics, his work is appallingly bad.
Agree to disagree on his design skills/aesthetics.
Agree to agree on his politics. I had to unfollow him on Twitter.
Alexa Grafera's work always makes me feel so hungry...
