Apple's worst design... Ever

#32Probably an intern project. Who cares? The awful thermal dissipation of my work Macbook is a worse design than this.

#33While ugly, it's not as bad as iCal, where the design actually gets in the way of using the product. (e.g. create new iCal event, command-i to edit, see where DELETE is where SAVE should be, etc...) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4385355/WTF%20%E2%80%94%20Info.png

#35Is it really so bad? I find the banner at the top to be much too large and ...well...it really is bad in general.
But overall the page seems fine. It's a plain white background with a grid of movie posters organized by month. No frills. Can someone comment, for the design challenged, what exactly makes this so terrible? (aside from the banner)

#36Seriously, someone digs up a link to a remnant of an old page on the Apple site, and this ends up on top of HN as a critique of Apple design?
Is this Reddit?

#37Amazing this got by Steve Jobs! But I think we're missing that it's a parody of the old movie industry.

For me, it has an orange to gray background gradient, not a white background.

The background gradient is a bit ugly and the bright colours don't really fit in with Apples' typical look and feel.
I don't think it would be considered to be that bad if it was produced by most people. The problem is, Apple are leaders in the field of design and frequently looked up to by designers to produce the very best.

#40Kind of reminds me of the intense blue/orange colorizing so many movies and TV shows get these days (Transformers and Fringe are two notorious examples).
