Jony Ive将取代Steve Jobs一职成为苹果「首席设计師」!

0

Tim Cook 刚发出公告信给全体员工,Jony Ive将在今年 7 月 1 日正式 由原来的 设计部高级副总裁 升任为Apple的 「首席设计師」(Chief Design Officer)。

这是CEO Steve Jobs 生前所担任职位,一直以来担任着设计部的最高决策人,而Jony Ive 其实在Steve Job离世后,已经是设计部里的最高决策人。身为设计部最高决策人的他,坐上Steve Job生前一职也是理所当然的事。

Jony Ive 升级后,将会负责核准所有重要的设计是否通过。而他原来的工作将会交由Alan Dye以及Richard Howarth两名新人马上场负责。Alan Dye本来就是Jony Ive的得力伙伴,从第一代iPhone起便加入了开发团队,日后将负责软件用户界面一切事务,包括了桌面和移动设备等软件的相关设计。至于Richard Howarth则负责产品硬件上的相关工业设计。经过这一次的人事变动,相信一定程度上会为Apple未来的产品设计带来变动,这点还是非常值得期待的!

附上Tim Cook 信件全文

 

Team,
I have exciting news to share with you today. I am happy to announce that Jony Ive is being promoted to the newly created position of Chief Design Officer at Apple.
Jony is one of the most talented and accomplished designers of his generation, with an astonishing 5000 design and utility patents to his name. His new role is a reflection of the scope of work he has been doing at Apple for some time. Jony’s design responsibilities have expanded from hardware and, more recently, software UI to the look and feel of Apple retail stores, our new campus in Cupertino, product packaging and many other parts of our company.
Design is one of the most important ways we communicate with our customers, and our reputation for world-class design differentiates Apple from every other company in the world. As Chief Design Officer, Jony will remain responsible for all of our design, focusing entirely on current design projects, new ideas and future initiatives. On July 1, he will hand off his day-to-day managerial responsibilities of ID and UI to Richard Howarth, our new vice president of Industrial Design, and Alan Dye, our new vice president of User Interface Design.
Richard, Alan and Jony have been working together as colleagues and friends for many years. Richard has been a member of the Design team for two decades, and in that time he has been a key contributor to the design of each generation of iPhone, Mac, and practically every other Apple product. Alan started at Apple nine years ago on the Marcom team, and helped Jony build the UI team which collaborated with ID, Software Engineering and countless other groups on groundbreaking projects like iOS 7, iOS 8 and Apple Watch.
Please join me in congratulating these three exceptionally talented designers on their new roles at Apple.
Tim
