@Ian8ach What’s wild though… an Apple exec was playing a car game in a keynote a few years later and the player’s name was ‘jive’

During Automotive Design class back in 2005, we had to design a car inspired by a celebrity.

I chose Jony Ive 🙃

@alextfife It’s not not a Ferrari 😂 I got the black-painted cabin part right.

@robertvklinken @jasperhauser Thank you! Amazing how 1px can make such a difference huh

[Barton Smith @bartonsmith]

I've always loved designing icons and still remember @jasperhauser walking me through his technique, which changed how I thought about their construction.

Icons force you to find expression within rigid constraints. They require technical precision because every detail is exposed, but you also need to step back and take them in as a fuzzy whole.

These icons for @north_mail are defined by their high-acceleration corners and subtle bottom curve. They will forever be a work in progress. I could sit and tinker for hours.

Ideally @north_mail sorts your messages correctly. But if it doesn't, we want to make that an enjoyable moment.

So we added this coin spin animation and a scrumptious sound, inspired by classic video games.
