iLove my iMac

As a designer, I believe that it is almost impossible to choose one favourite design object. There are too many wonderfully designed objects to choose from, but while thinking if I really did have one, I came back to my all time favourite, an iMac. Not only because I have one but I believe that it really defines what design is, it is by its simplicity.

The reason why I chose iMacs as my favourite design object is because this computer is mainly targeted for designers like me. From the time that it first launched I thought design wise, is very astonishing and nothing I have ever seen before. Since 1998 Apple has always been consistent in how they have designed the exterior of an iMac. They were thinking, innovation by having the computer do what people wanted and with no extra mumbo jumbo.

Its simplicity, one of the main things I get out of iMacs is its minimalist design which also Apple’s essence. Being a simple person, and no to technologically advanced person I believe that iMac would be the best choice for me, when the price is not put into consideration.

Distinctive, out of all brand name computers/technology out there, I believe that Apple wins almost by a mile with brand recognition. Apple has done a great job to differentiate themselves from other with their trendy styles that they set. As a designer I believe that being distinctive and differentiating is important to being a successful graphic designer in the field

Overall, I believe that iMac is a great example what designers of today should be. That is also why iMacs are one of the most proffered computers by designers for its simplicity and innovation.
