Day 7: A Classic Take on the Same...

I do like this one.  Now if it could both dispense air circulation AND candy!

Oooh, let me say -- tomorrow's is going to be a LOT of fun!

Day 6: The Vertical Modern Desk Fan

Here is another clean solution for a modern desk fan.

See tomorrow's design for a stunning classic take on the same principle.

Day 5: An Analog Case for a Digital World

Ungh!  I am 5 days in and already getting behind!

Well, this one's rough, but lots of fun!  I have no doubt that I will put together a rendering for this later.

Day 4: Tightened Fan Drawings

I'm liking this one.  There aren't many desk fans outside of the retro market that aren't an eyesore.  The only downside of this design is lack of an oscillation feature.

It could be done, but would make the design significantly more complicated.  Still, it would be interesting exploring the idea of an oscillating action that can't be seen from the front -- similar to the vertical adjustment already in the design...

Day 4: Executive Desk Fan

Day 4's design is a clean, modern solution to the desk fan, including a sketch of a foldable, travel version.  The idea is, that rather than the cumbersome and unsightly pivot mechanism of the typical fan, the fan motor pivots from behind and tightens with a knob on a sliding vertical groove.

Buttons would be flush and electronic, not mechanical.  One touch for high, a second for medium, and so on. Likely a soft blue LED ring light around a single button, rather than the multiple buttons of the larger drawing.

I may follow this with a rendering tomorrow.

Day 3: Cheating.

OK.  This is kind of cheating.  I didn't do this for the "30 days" project, but as an illustration for my lovely wife's blog -- but it is 3D, so I'm going to claim it as "product design" and not "graphic design", and let it qualify for this month.  ...I know, technicalities.

I'll be back tomorrow with new sketches on a completely different theme.  Wheels, perhaps? ... or an electric fan?

Day 2: Watch the Second.

Day 2 gets to be a watch as well.  Hi, Suprise... it's me, Dwight. Anyway -- Since I had already done the sketch yesterday, I thought I'd go ahead and execute this one, as well.
