Talk:Snow White design language

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Notable?

I'm not sure how this can be notable. Thoughts? --Ronz 03:35, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

In the world of product design, Snow White is a pretty notable as an example of a consistent, yet creative, design language. And, as the dominant design ethos of a major computer company, it's surely notable on its own. Ianbetteridge (talk) 14:05, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

We need sources to back this, otherwise it could be put up for deletion. --Ronz (talk) 16:18, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/aug2004/nf20040813_8513_db016.htm is a place to start, notably this passage: "He [Esslenger] brilliantly capitalized on the fame that came with laying out the minimalist "Snow White" design language employed by Steve Jobs in Apple's groundbreaking products of the 1980s (Esslinger would also design the chic "Cube" PC made by Jobs' NeXT Computer in the late 1980s)." I don't think that he'd have garnered any fame for creating something that wasn't notable by Wikipedia standards :) Snow White was also featured heavily in a book, "AppleDesign" (http://www.amazon.com/Appledesign-Apple-Industrial-Design-Group/dp/1888001259/) which again, I think, indicates its notability.
