hi
i have to get some pictures of a "design classic" for a project at CSM/uni and i think that last year or the year before the iPod won the gold award for product design at the annual D & AD awards. For those who don't know these are some of the most prestigious awards in the design field.

So what i am asking of all you iPod owners is, could you send me some pics of your iPods?
I would like all generations if possible (including the mini) and as large as you can make them. some from a 4 mega pixel camera would be awesome! basically i need some good shots of the iPod for both print work and a flash animation i have to make. If you can't post them because of file size imitations then feel free to email them to me. i will gladly except any pictures no matter how big or small.

I hope you can help me out
Cheers!
 
Thanks for the link. But what i really need is just a couple of good photos from the top of iPods. Alot of the ones on iPod Lounge aren't that great a quality and feature other things in the photos. anyone help?
 
Apple has some high-res pics of the iPod and all their other products on their PR site... here is the iPod page:
http://www.apple.com/pr/products/ipod/ipod.html#

you should make sure you have permission to use them though... it appears to be intended for Press use only.

I don't have any good pics of my own, so I hope thats what you're looking for...
 
hope these are ok, i had to take the photos without flash due to shiny nature of the ipod. click link below for full size image.

cheers again, while i'm at it can anyone else think of any other "design classics"? i've thought of a few but other input would be good.

I'm not sure whether you want designed with form and function in mind or just having that eternally lasting 'x-factor'.

I have no design background but I'd say:

and Original Beetle.

I'll edit this as I think of more.

Edit 1: Found this on google, good to see they back me up.
