Inspiration In Memoriam

From The Globe and Mail:

Jeff Musson, owner of video streaming company Dynamitenetwork.com, said he met Mr. Jobs at a reception in San Francisco a couple of years ago.  …

Mr. Musson said he asked Mr. Jobs about the inspiration behind the design of Apple products. “He said, to my amazement, that it was a calligraphy class that he took back in college. That course taught him about different fonts, spacing of letters and the overall look and design of how words should flow on a page. He had no idea at the time how he would put the knowledge to use, but years later.

“… those classes were the inspiration of the Apple product interfaces we use today.”
