Tutorials on how to appreciate good design

Every now and then I'd like to show you an example of great design and then, in a hopefully friendly manner, point out some of the reasons why it's so great. Think of it as an introduction to good design for everyguy/everygirl. I know you'd likely prefer to read about what Fake Steve and I are up to but I think that the more that the general citizen gets to look a bit longer at something, the more they'll be able to appreciate it - and refuse, in future, to go back to ordinary things.

This is important to me. It's my vision for the world. Yes, peace and harmony are important priorities. But lo, I am not a prophet nor a peacemaker (see Proverbs). I'm a designer and that is what I love (or if you're a Lutheran, what I'm 'predestined' to do). And to quote Steve, "Do what you love". There - two authorities!

Anyway, here's hoping you'll be able to get something from these little 'tutes'. I'll start next week. Have a great Easter break, everyone.
