As you see I haven't posted anything in a while, the computer crashed then lots of other stuff, but no use in explaining. Back to the design, what I seem to do way to often is overthink things. I will make things so detailed that often it loses the meaning or focus of what you want people to get out of it. One design idea that I think is great is the new hand vaccum that looks like a cone. Finally something you can put in your home and use. I have no idea how well this works, but the idea is great. When creating Legacy I wanted the family to come through, I wanted you to feel the tradition. I studied and looked at ancient designs and classic designs from all different cultures. The thing that really stood out to me was the crest, it was the family, so I felt that this traditional symbol should be used some how. I decided to use the sheild not only because it is a crest, but also a symbol of protection. Men's jewelry too often follows simple geometric shapes, the Legacy collection, stretches that simple idea of a geometric shape and makes us feel, it gives us a little more.
