Susan Kare (b. 1954) is the designer who "humanised" the computer in the early 1980s, best known for developing the distinctive icons, typefaces, and other pixel elements that gave the Apple Mac its characteristic - and widely emulated - friendly look and feel. During her years at Apple between 1982 and 1984, Susan Kare developed hundreds of icons, many of which are still in use and revered today. Her background in drawing, crafts and sculpture and lack of software graphics experience turned out to be an asset, allowing her to empathise with non-technical users of the new computer. Her contributions include many of the typefaces and symbols - such as the pixel icon "happy Macintosh" that greeted users on startup, the intuitive "trash can" for deleting files and the Command "looped square" symbol - helped transform the text-heavy computer interfaces into human, friendly experiences.
