Ignite Show: Jeff Veen on Great Designers - O'Reilly Radar

By Brady Forrest

Good designers copy. Great designers steal. In this week's Ignite Show Jeff Veen, well-known for his design work on Google Analytics, Wikirank and Typekit, lays out a strong argument for why iPhone imitators are the cargo cults of the digital era.
