Lol. Wasn’t it Steve Jobs who really made this meme big in the context of design?
I like the subtle self-mockery in Newson+Ives
Ross Lovegrove always does a good job at this too ‘I am the visionary, I will pave the way for the grand future’.
Sure it’s all related to psychology. It’s real hard to get out of a designer’s ego sometimes And I also know that it’s most often the right hand that is raised for such poses, it’s related to confidence/power. The left hand is the hand that shy people use to cover their faces with. The hand of insecurity, submissiveness.
“intuition (n.)
mid-15c., from Late Latin intuitionem (nominative intuitio) “a looking at, consideration,” noun of action from past participle stem of Latin intueri “look at, consider,” from in- “at, on” (see in- (2)) + tueri “to look at, watch over” (see tuition).”
Intuition is “looking deeply at” something. Sometimes your neck gets tired. I do the Loewy a lot leaning over my Cintiq. =)
I have this guy looking over my shoulder at work, most often very disappointed and disapproving of my work. His ten ‘principles’ are affixed just below.
Goddammit. This thread is missing a couple of obvious ones. Putting out a bounty for:
Behar
Dyson
Musk (he’d call himself a designer)
Loewy
Ivy Ross, Matias Duarte, or anyone else with the title “Google Design Leader”
