I have to preface this by saying I’m no designer and this might be extremely unpopular.
But a while back we got this Wallpaper article about the Phone (1)
Quoting from the article, about Tom Howard (Nothing’s head of design) inspiration for Phone (1) :
Howard describes the resulting process as a ‘jigsaw puzzle’. To help visualise how they were going to lay bare the innards of the device, his team looked at a classic diagrammatic reference point, the 1972 New York Subway map by Massimo Vignelli and Bob Noorda. ‘This did a really, really good job of organising a very, very complex system and figuring out how to illustrate that in a beautiful way,’ Howard enthuses. ‘We looked at a lot of other subway maps as well.’
And more specifically, this subway map image is shown:
Which got me thinking, can we have a Phone (1) that’s more colourfull, where every part of the jigsaw is a different colour? Forgive me, I’m not a designer and am bad at photoshop or paint and put this together in 5 mins at 3 am, so not my best work, but something along these lines:
I’m no designer, but I’m sure the amazing and extremely talented team over at Nothing can make a colourful masterpiece. (I’m guessing this would fall under the design team?, and thus under the purview of Tom Howard et al.)
