Apple has built an incredible design library, covering their processes, design principles, and more. It’s some of the best product design content I’ve come across. In this update, I’ve added a few great videos that are worth watching and learning from. I’ll be adding more over time.
A Few Updates on COC:
So far, we have these categories: Product Design, Design Entrepreneurship, and Creative & Fun.
A new category, Graphic Design, is coming soon—stay tuned!
I’m also working with a developer to make COC more useful. Soon, you’ll be able to search and bookmark content on the site. This will take some time, but it’s in progress. Stay tuned!
