Susan Kare is the graphic artist from the 80’s who designed pixel art for Apple. She developed her work by drawing heavily on her fine art experience in mosaic, needlepoint and pointillism. Susan brought us the arrow cursor, the trash can and the ‘document’ icon with the turned-up page corner, and many other designs over the years of working in the industry. Her designs have been exhibited at the MOMA in NYC and are considered “simple, elegant and whimsical”.
I’d like to think she would REALLY love this hat. Its simple graphic black and white design reminds me of the world she created. I could see her leaving her office at the end of a long workday, re-entering the city late at night. She’d don this hat as she passed through the revolving door at the front of the building, the cold air striking her awake, and this hat would keep her warm her as she retreated from her work to her home.
