The ‘JonyIveParody’ Twitter account recently released a hilarious parody book on the latest iOS Apple design titled: ‘Design It to Look Like My Sh*t.’
The fictional book is “a children’s guide to designing for iOS 7” and pokes fun at the Apple's newest iteration of iOS and its flat design, which has been criticized as cartoonish by many. The book on iOS 7 design offers tips like: “Use neon colors and bright gradients. Design it to be f*cking flat.”
Considering that author JonyIveParody notes at the beginning of the book that Apple’s legal team recently tried to remove the spoof Twitter account, you might want to download a copy of the hilarious PDF before it disappears.
