Steven P. Jobs, the visionary co-founder and former chief executive of Apple, has died at 56.
“Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.”
Steve Jobs has passed.
“When the Macintosh was introduced, Steve Jobs became something of a pariah in the graphic design world. Apple ran a TV commercial that introduced the world to graphic designers, and in the next breath said that, because of the Macintosh, they were obsolete. Designers were so miffed, as I recall, that they denied Apple a design leadership award by the Art Directors Club for a few years thereafter. Like elephants, graphic designers’ trunks are filled with memories. But Jobs redeemed himself.” ( a run down of comments from famous designers and artists on Jobs’ contributions).
