Hardware

20th Century Did you realize that computer weren’t born with a graphic ? It happened after over 30 years.

1962 Parts from four early computer. ORDVAC & BRLESC-I board On the first computers, with no , every program needed the full hardware specification to run correctly and perform standard tasks, and its own drivers for peripheral devices like printers and punched paper card readers. Software

id = color, blue; OSes Computer operating systems provide a set of functions needed and used by most application programs on a computer, and the links needed to control and synchronize computer hardware. Programming Language A programming language is a formal language, which comprises a set of instructions used to produce various kinds of output. Programming languages are used to create programs that implement specific algorithms. 80s Along with this revolutionary concept came other brilliant idea of using icons in computing. Sometimes, A picture says more than a thousand words. GUI- Graphic User Interface The history of the , understood as the use of graphic icons and a pointing device to control a computer, covers a five-decade span of incremental refinements, built on some constant core principles XEROX 8010 STAR 1981-1985 Invented by David Smith, Design by Norm Cox, it presented a square grid, simple looks, consistent style.

APPLE-LISA 1983 Lisa was the first with a graphic user interface aimed at a wide audience of business customers.

MACINTOSH 1 1984 Probably the most famous “art + Programming marriage” happened in 1982. For creating icons, Apple hired Susan Kare, a step they should never ever regret. The kids were a lovely bunch of consistent siblings. You can freely say: pixel art in the purest form. Susan Kare Born in 1954 She is an artist and graphic designer who created many of the interface elements and for the Apple in the 1980s. 1984 Chicago is a sans-serif typeface designed by Susan Kare for Apple Computer. It was used in the Macintosh operating system user interface between 1984 and 1997 and was an important part of Apple’s brand identity. It is also used in early versions of the iPod user interface. Hardships of Limited Ways

APPLE-GS/OS 1988 Apple didn’t give a full hand, they only gave one finger. As many as 15 colors available but it was ONLY colors. Still enough to have the eager user playing with “folding painting” for some time. MACINTOSH - SYSTEM 7 1991 With shades of grey and delicate accents, they present a less intrusive palette. Thanks to this all, the signs make a coherent package. It takes more time for Mac to make the icons show their sides, but over time, they become convinced, and most of them turn isometric. New Desktop Icon Era

MAC OS X 2001 “Photo-illustrative style” smashes the idea of an icon being just a symbol. So, the edges can freely blur. The pictures grow huge, have alpha channels and 8-bit transparency masks. What a splendor! After over 30 years of experimentation learning from the mistakes of others’ and our own, experienced on the battlefield of creating icons, there came a brilliant system. Thank you_
