Upon reading of Steve Jobs’ passing, I felt almost the same way as I did on December 15, 1966…
As I was folding papers for my paper route, the headline caught my eye:
WALT DISNEY DIES
I went numb and cried. Both Disney and Jobs were visionaries, creative geniuses, demanding perfectionists, and they both died much too young.
My first laptop was the very first Titanium G3 – it couldn’t even burn a cd, it was such an early model. (I’ve since learned to wait for version 2 or 3.) I was so proud of that thing. It was the ultimate in stylish design. I didn’t even care if there was a computer inside the case, it was just beautiful to look at. That’s what I appreciate most about Steve – he made everything with class, from the way it works to the way it looks and feels, even down to the marketing and advertising.
M‑I-C… See how insanely great this world is today.
K‑E-Y…Why? Because of visionary genius.
After Walt passed away the company stumbled for awhile, but the “cast members” and fans of Disney have so much soul that they got it back on its feet. We’ll always wonder what else Walt would have created had he lived longer, and surely we wonder that about Steve. But just like Disney, Apple has such a strong desire to be a class act and produce class products, supported by its incredibly loyal fans, that Steve would probably be proud of what his people continue to invent and polish.
I designed this poster honoring Steve Jobs, as a special edition in my AmperArt poster series.
The words are straight from of one of Steve’s speeches.
No doubt Walt and Steve are thinking up the next insanely great idea in visionary heaven.
