Putting a Name to a Face
Did you know that many classic computer icons, like the cute little Macintosh bomb, the Windows Solitaire cards and the ubiquitous e-mail envelope can be traced to a woman named Susan Kare? Here's a description of her work:
- Since 1983, Susan Kare has designed thousands of software icons that have become familiar to anyone who uses a computer. Designed on a minimalist grid of pixels and constructed with mosaic-like precision, her icons communicate their functions immediately and memorably.
Did I know? why yes, yes I did. Does this means you now consider the 'Pixel' art form cool?
