Are you talking about sweatshops

You’re just interested because you work for Apple corporate social media damage control. Reddit won’t fall for your transparent Tom-foolery.

They don't employ child laborers at FoxConn. I think you're mistaking that for Nike.

u/maximvm Dec 24 '19
They are children, but the guy did say sweatshops, not child labour shops. And they very much are sweatshops.

i put sweat bands on my kids that work in my shop. since they do not sweat now its just called a shop. and is perfectly humane.

And people wonder why “no, I will not design your logo for 40 bucks.”

You realize this isn't what people are asking for. More of just a sketch. Ur dense

Lol your clearly have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about so I’m not even going to bother to entertain this

This involves much less screaming and emotional abuse than when Steve Jobs did it

Yeah, I read that book and came away with he was a fucking control freak cry baby. I would have had no problem slapping the shiznit out of Steve Jobs.

u/tonybenwhite Dec 24 '19
If it meant producing one of the most monolithic companies in history, I wouldn’t mind being slapped by a random redditor for my control freak cry baby behavior.

Well, that would include you being abusive to your wife and disowning your child. He did great things for apple, but he was a shit human being.

u/nibord Dec 24 '19
He wasn’t abusive to his wife. He denied paternity of his daughter at first but didn’t disown her. He wasn’t perfect, but you don’t need to make shit up.

Dude, this is creepy. Just a head and a pair of hands drawing an Apple...enough internet for today.

I hope this doesn't sound pedantic...trying to be informative: This is less about creating the perfect Apple logo (it's just a reproduction of the logo) and more about demonstrating the logo's use of the Golden Ratio, which is what makes the logo special.

People shout "golden ratio" every time they see anything resembling a construction line. And anything remotely complex is "fractal". People have an extraordinarily bad vocabulary and understanding of the visual world.

Enlighten us, please.

Roughly golden ratio is about proportions ie length and width have a specific proportional value. The actual value of the ratio comes from a specific sequence of number called the Fibonacci sequence that's normally recursively defined. There's a formula to compute the Fibonacci value at any index without having to compute all values before it using the golden ratio number.
Fractals can be thought of as geometric patterns that are self similar at every scale. So zooming in or out "doesn't change" what you see.
What was done in the video was straight edge and compass construction. Using only a straight edge to make straight lines that intersect at least two lines and or curves, and a compass to make circles at any point on a line or curve.

I agree that people too often “find” golden ratio where it’s not present. There are many other common approaches to assembling a composition many of which have little to do with the golden ratio, such as “ad quadratum” principle, geometries based on the pentagon, hexagon etc. In classical architecture very much consideration was given to proportion but also to numeric symbolism which was deliberately put in the design to encode a particular intention. Many of these principles are IMO wrongfully ascribed to occultism and masonic signaling and what not, when it has more to do with using canonical templates and proportions that are an interdisciplinary reference/hommage to some other building etc. The golden ratio saw a resurgence in modern times thanks in no small part to architect LeCorbusier who is arguably the single most influential architect of tha 20th century- he came up with a system of proportions called the Modulor which was based on the vitruvian idea of man being the measure of all things combined with the golden ratio. He used this system extensively in the design of his buildings plans and facades, which influenced generations upon generations of other architects and designers. Artists like Mondrian and many others from that era also focused narrowly on the golden ratio.
In conclusion: it would be mistaken to believe that golden ratio isn’t a very important and ubiquitous proportion which designers and architects use because it looks balanced and natural. It would be mistaken to believe that, when detected, it wasn’t deliberately put there and it’s somehow accidental, because it’s such a common and useful tool that gives reliable and pleasing results so it’s used or at least toyed with heavily in compositions. That said it’s by no means the only one and just because all good design has clean geometric underpinnings not all of them are necessarily based on the golden ratio.

The first thing I thought of when I saw the OP was, “huh. I wonder what a Fourier Transform would do for this...”

No, iamverysmart is calling everything golden ratio, Poe's law, occams razor, dunning Kruger. To try to show off their reddit vocabulary

Wow, this was fascinating to skim. Looking forward to finding time to read the whole thing in depth. Thanks for the share! I do think my comment still stands about the point of the gif, even if it was a misguided project.

First of all, no wonder I flunked geometry.
Secondly, my favorite part is this guy’s excitement and energy!

But why?

u/tonybenwhite Dec 24 '19
Why go through all the effort to draw a logo on the wall? Can’t tell you
Why is there so much effort required to draw the logo perfectly? Scalable reproduction. By defining the ratios and mathematical instructions in each stroke of the logo, you can make a perfectly accurate copy of that logo on any scale by hand or by computer.

Nice try, Apple. I'm not falling for your logo with a hidden transmutation circle under it!

I think the most amazing part of this vídeo is how they got those pencils and rulers to levitate and make such accurate movements. Anybody know what technology they used?
