The aesthetics of the new iPod video
The iPod has been, since its release in 2001, one of the most innovative and
popular digital devices in the world. Being produced by a strong brand such as
Apple, the iPod became popular in a very short period of time.
The popularity of
the iPod was owed, besides the practical usage of the actual product, to the
original ways of promoting and advertising of the company and, as well, to the
aesthetical qualities that the product presented, ranging from the design features
to the packaging.
Since the appearance of the product on the market, meaning the first iPod in
2001, the design of the product changed, but not dramatically; still, every model
of the iPod came with new features, so the design and the package had to be
adapted to these, in order to satisfy the consumers. The most important element
that was considered by the creators when establishing the shape of the new
device was the perfect proportioning. The new item was supposed to be light and
easy, in order to be carried in all sizes of pockets, yet it had to look like a powerful
and strong device. Even more, the necessity of providing a stable platform for the
controls and the fact that the device was supposed to be managed easily by the
customers, lead to the optimization of the perfect size and shape. The result was a
device which was the right size in order to be held in the hand without difficulty
and managed without effort. In the 5 years of constant research in order to find
the right proportion for the iPods, the device ranged between the thickest model,
expressed in the 2nd generation of iPods and the almost as thick 4th generation
iPod to the more symmetric models of the 1st and 3rd generations.
Following these rules, the first 4 generations of the iPod managed the keep the
right proportions that could permit the optimum use of the sound and later on,
the photo features (even so, the iPod nano was considered to be too light and
fragile). After the launching of the 4th generation of iPods, Apple were preparing
to provide a new and even more innovative iPod, which was supposed to have a
video feature, as well. At that time, the most significant concern of the producers
was the fact that, due to the new iPod features, which had to permit a good
visibility and a larger screen, the perfect proportions of the iPod might be ruined.
As a result, the last generation of iPods is the thinnest of all; instead, the screen is
larger, which allows videos to be watched much better.
Since the original model, the iPod\'s height and width have remained the same.
Still, the corners of the new iPod video are sharper, in comparison with the
rounded edges of the previous models. Even more, the center button of the
device is flat, without any convex potions, which characterized the previous
models of iPods.
The new iPod video comes in 2 colors: black and white, which adapt well to the
color of the package, which is black and silver. With this colors (which are the
same as the ones of the iPod`s nano colors), the new device seems improved and
more refined. The black iPod has a chrome Apple logo, but the ear buds remain
white, for both colors of the main device.
The iPod has been constantly modified in order to establish the perfect size for
carrying and listening to music while walking and sometimes dancing. The iPod
video presents, besides an obvious technical evolution that allows now watching
videos on this small device, a new appearance, with different proportions, which
are adapted to the most important request: good visibility. With a larger screen
and thinner aspect, the iPod video turns out to be a stylish and aesthetic product, which slightly changes the image of the previous models, yet keeps the brand features intact. |
