Wondering why Google+ looks, well, uncharacteristically good for a Google product? Turn out Andy Hertzfeld, an former Apple design guru going back to the days of the original Mac, has been given the freedom to exercise his creative genius on the new Google+ project. No wonder it has such a simple, useful — dare we say elegant — look and feel to it.
Hertzfeld credits some of his work done on the project to Apple, saying that Apple’s reign on the mobile industry may have had “A little bit to do” with his creative design into the project of Google+.
Does knowing that a famous former Apple designer had a big hand in how Google+ looks and works make you any more likely to try it out?
