The hallmark of great designers is how they design common things.
How they add their own touch to what are essentially the same objects, in order to make them stand out.
Toss thousands of laptop computers together.
They'll all have the same basic components, and will all have the same basic layout.
Yet it won't be hard to pick the Apple offerings out of that pile.
The same can be done when starting a design with the teardrop shape.
The basic teardrop layout offers plenty of scope for individual design features.
