Aesthetic Inspiration

My inspiration comes from my everyday appreciation of minimalism. I think it’s a special work of art to be able to create something that is simple yet unique, as well as functional in use. As I was researching for design inspirations, I noticed that many of the clocks had only one or two features that defined its character. For example, it may be the red color of a number that pops amidst the black and white body of the clock, or it may be the unique geometry that the clock is carved out of.

In the case of my clock, the features that differentiate it from other clocks are: 1) the shape, and 2) the alignment of the numbers.

I chose to create a square clock, because I like change and I like symmetry. I wanted to carve out the numbers and align them on the outer edge, so to allow for more space on the body of the clock. I think space is very valuable when it comes to consumer products that are used on a daily basis. It should allow for comfort to the eyes, as well as ease of access to the time.
