How can I tell that Jonathan Ive indeed deserves the top design award from the Design and Art Direction (D&AD) group in the U.K.? Maybe it's the way people come over to my desk and ooooh and aaaah over the latest iMac G5 I'm reviewing. Or the way they did the same thing when I had a Mac mini. Or the look and feel of my own 20-inch Apple Cinema Display or my iPod mini. You get the picture. In case you hadn't heard, Ive -- Apple's head of industrial design -- was given the group's President's Award last night in London. Apple itself also won three design awards for its line of Cinema Displays, its fourth generation iPod and the latest iteration of the iPod mini. According to this story in MacWorld UK, Apple CEO Steve Jobs climbed up on stage to congratulate Ive and praise his work.
Maybe they should call him Jonathan IveDesign
