Need a rough scribble or visualisation of an possible integration of new banners on a content-page? Fire up Photoshop. And wonder why the CEO says: no way after 3 Minutes. :) Of course, things in my world happen on a much smaller level than they did in yours, Mike. I really apprechiate the work you do here on your site. That was very interresting for me, because I tend to do everything on my own, too.

The important thing was to use the best resources for the job, without being restricted by concerns about doing it in-house or not.

I was under the impression they had a specific design group within Apple (or does this do something else?) But I applaud such an investment in tutorials and sample materials because it really does make a difference. Interesting that Apple would outsource it’s design.
