Project Description

Project Introduction

Many commercial music players are very "black-boxish" (even when they are white). They are non-expressive boxes with non-expressive buttons. Consider the Apple iPod. It's a white box with a screen and a rotary disk. It is a beautiful object, beautiful according to the Ulm school of design. It expresses a sort of 1930's elegance. Is this the future of consumer product design? or the past?
