I thought Tog was a good choice from earlier, Dan and not on your list. His work at Apple is pretty, neat! But in general, your list is my list. I have one other addition which I don't think you left off on purpose, but that is Bill Verplank. Ok, another addition Gillian Crampton Smith. Ok, another addition Brenda Laurel. BUT!!! in all honesty people would know Frank Lloyd Wright WAY before any of these, and most designers regardless of discipline knows Eames and Rand. I do not think ANY of the people we listed thus far except for maybe Nielsen are "rock stars" in that sense, but I would never call Nielsen a designer. One of the reaons we are not great is b/c by definition we don't finish anything. Ive will always be the headliner to an Apple product regardless of who heads the Human Factors Group at Apple. They all remain pretty faceless despite doing some of the best IxD work since the Alto (arguable, but I'll stand by it for now just to be provocative). We do amazing rockstar worthy work, but we aren't called out for it. Some exceptions have been mainly when we called it out ourselves (which usually doesn't lead to rock-stardom). But only WE know about them. -- dave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
