Reviewed By Jack Magnus for Readers' Favorite:Taking a Bite Out of the Apple: A Graphic Designer's Tale (Hearing Others' Voices) is a nonfiction memoir for young adults written by Rob Janoff. While he had gone to college to study industrial design, Janoff was more intrigued by the creative possibilities that graphic design seemed to offer. Indeed, his whole outlook on the world seemed to point him in that direction. He had had some success in designing logos for new tech companies when he went to work for the Regis McKenna Agency in Silicon Valley. That tech experience led his boss, Regis McKenna, to offer him a somewhat off-the-wall assignment. Janoff's mind was far away as his boss discussed the assignment, but eventually the words "apple" and "computers" broke through his distraction. Janoff even knew of Steve Jobs, the iconic inventor who, with his partner, had turned a garage into the birthplace of the personal computer. But how to render Steve's concepts into a logo? Janoff's mind kept toying with the idea, his hand quickly sketching and erasing ideas as they paraded through his imagination. Then he hit on it.Rob Janoff's nonfiction memoir for young adults, Taking a Bite Out of the Apple: A Graphic Designer's Tale, is a beautifully written and fascinating account by the designer of the world-famous Apple logo. Anyone who loves computers and has an interest in how the personal computer came to be will have as much fun reading this book as I did. But there's more to this memoir than tech history. Janoff's description of how he tackled the project, working feverishly with a bowl of apples as inspiration is a joy to read. Any creative person should find Janoff's story inspiring, and his smooth conversational style makes following along as he works towards that one perfect image a grand and entertaining experience. Taking a Bite Out of the Apple: A Graphic Designer's Tale is most highly recommended.

"Som Barn hørte jeg ofte en gammel grønlandsk Sagnfortællerske berette om, at der langt Nord paa ved Jordens Ende skulde leve et Folk, der klædte sig i Bjørnehuder og lavede raat Kød. Deres Land var altid stængt af Is, og Dagskæret naaede aldrig over Fjældene. [...]Under min Opvækst herhjemme i Danmark levede de stadig i min Bevidsthed og min første Beslutning som Mand var at søge dem. Jeg fik Lejlighed dertil, da jeg som Deltager i "Den danske literære Grønlands-Ekspedition" tilbragte vinteren 1903-04 hos disse Polareksimoer, Verdens nordligste Folk. Og fra dette Ophold, fjernt fra al Civilisation, stammer efterfølgende Skildringer." idden /title /head body center h1 403 Forbidden /h1 /center /body /htmlKnud Rasmussen (1878-1933) var en dansk-grønlandsk polarforsker. Han blev født i Illulissat, der tidligere blev kaldt Jacobshavn, og boede i Grønland de første 12 år af sit liv, inden han blev sendt på kostskole i Danmark. Som voksen tog han tilbage til Grønland og gennemførte syv ekspeditioner. Knud Rasmussen var flittig til at dokumentere sine oplevelser, føre dagbog og indsamle materiale og skrive bøger, når han var i Danmark. På grund af sin opvækst kendte Knud Rasmussen en del til grønlandsk sang- og fortælletradition og fortsatte sin interesse for denne del af kulturen som voksen ved at indsamle myter og sagn rundt omkring i bygderne. Knud Rasmussen blev slået til ridder af Dannebrog og modtog desuden Dannebrogordenens Hæderstegn.
