The Auteur Theory of Design
Here’s an interesting little clip that I happened by today. John Gruber of Daring Fireball gives a short presentation at Macworld: a theory of his about collaborative design and the quality of a resulting product.
My daily job role doesn’t cast me as designer, but I often take it upon myself to make suggestions (or *coughs* alterations that I see as beneficial) so I know where he’s coming from.
On a side note I like the style of his slides, which punctuate his words rather than reproduce them. In a discussion of taste, I think Gruber’s own is pretty good.
