On Design
âWe think the Mac will sell zillions, but we didnât build the Mac for anybody else. We built it for ourselves. We were the group of people who were going to judge whether it was great or not. We werenât going to go out and do market research. We just wanted to build the best thing we could build.
When youâre a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, youâre not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. Youâll know itâs there, so youâre going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back. For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.â [Playboy, Feb. 1, 1985]

âDesign is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, itâs really how it works. The design of the Mac wasnât what it looked like, although that was part of it. Primarily, it was how it worked. To design something really well, you have to get it. You have to really grok what itâs all about. It takes a passionate commitment to really thoroughly understand something, chew it up, not just quickly swallow it. Most people donât take the time to do that.
âCreativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didnât really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. Thatâs because they were able to connect experiences theyâve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that theyâve had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people.
âUnfortunately, thatâs too rare a commodity. A lot of people in our industry havenât had very diverse experiences. So they donât have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader oneâs understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have. [Wired, February 1996]
