Ive wins National Design Award
It seems like Apple's Johnathan Ive does two things: design great products, and win awards for designing said products. So today's Ive news is of the second order-- at the National Design Awards in Washington on Wednesday, Ive picked up the product design award. According to the Washington Post, Ive was recognized for his work on the iMac, the iBook, and the iPod, but we can't help but think having the iPhone now under his belt didn't hurt either.Awards also went to Adobe for creating Photoshop, the "gold standard" of photo manipulation software, and a few other architects and designers from various places around the country. The awards were handed out by First Lady Laura Bush, who said Ive's work "...has made it more fun to go back in time and play oldies on our iPods." She's still listening to oldies? Someone show this woman the podcast page on iTunes!

The most bloated of bloatware, the most unfriendly UI (wait...actually, that's probably Illustrator). I've been using since ver 3.0, and I say it's gotten to the point I don't use it unless I absolutely have to. I'm stuck on version 8 - even though it's not UB - because the newer versions are just hopeless. I'll take any - any - alternative I can find.*
*GIMP need not apply. I don't do X11
i cant feel suprised that laura lives in the old money stone ages

tuaw.COM, if it was tuaw.co.uk they would have said U.S.
@Joe
I agree, same with AutoCAD or MicroStation and the architecture business, although that seems to be changing.
Neil,
Is there a Washington Post in Washington, UK, and is that where the UK National Design Awards would be held?
has anyone actually looked at how Photoshop worked in years and decided if it's the "gold standard" because that's the best way to do things, or because Photoshop is the industry leader and that's what the pro's are most adept at using? Just because some design/interface was first or gained lots of market share early on, and basically everybody else has copied them since, doesn't mean it's the best way to do it.....
