Design a Week – 26/52

On the last day of 2010, my final design to share is an angled frame:

I first flirted with this idea back in March, initially thinking of it as a picture frame. The more I look at it, the more I think of it as a decorative edging for a frame and panel section of some piece of modern furniture. I haven’t come up with the correct application yet, so I just have this frame. There is definitely attitude in this frame, a little aggressive, so it will need the perfect fit.

As I’m posting this on the final few minutes of 2010, let me take a few lines to reflect on this challenge. Obviously, failing to post 52 designs means I didn’t get to “a design a week.” By getting to 26, I did manage to post a new design every other week. For having never done any serious sketching in my life, I think it is quite the accomplishment despite not reaching the initial goal.

I want to thank everyone who has dropped in during this exercise. I couldn’t have made it this far without your encouragement, suggestions, and feedback. Make sure to check back for more crazy ideas, designs, and challenges in 2011. Happy New Year!
