Apple, in 1996, My Favorite Assignment

Posted on July 6, 2025July 6, 2025 By Ann Thompson

Self-employed, as a graphic artist, I helped to promote: toys, trucks, banks, phar­ma­ceu­tical prod­ucts, housing devel­op­ments, enter­tain­ment events and services…

but one of the most enjoy­able, of my chal­lenges, was this little hand­book of instruc­tions for working relationships.

I, previ­ously had other assign­ments from Apple, Computer, Inc. When a manual of instruc­tions was supplied with every new Apple computer, I was able to show whim­sical color illus­tra­tion with the instruc­tions for the Apple II GS computer. I drove to Cuper­tino for meetings.

Apple IIGS Art Spots

When I was offered this little booklet: The ​“Ten-Second Manager” it was an easy rela­tion­ship with Molly Tyson (in San Fran­cisco) meet­ings with her as we planned each page for visuals. Humor helps in rela­tion­ships so Molly approved my scenarios depicting the lessons that they were offering.

I found that although this was planned for their Apple Univer­sity and their team of employees, the sugges­tions are also very good for anyone working with a person with a conflicting opinion.

For my presen­ta­tion, before going to finished art, Molly and her peeps were OK with my flimsy little presen­ta­tion that you see above each page of the printed booklet.

For ​“team­work”, I should send my copies of this booklet to the U.S. Congress.
