It all started with an idea for a compass rose. We researched many different styles of compasses. There are very simple and very ornate compass roses. For Kyle’s part, she had to decide how we could get the best of both worlds to come together.
It only took a few rough sketches before we had an idea of where this project was headed.
Next, Kyle started putting the ideas into the computer program Illustrator. Once the drawings were finished we decided which one was going to be the final design.
Then, the chosen file was exported to be compatible with CAD.
Finally, it was all Brett now. He brought the files into CAD and got right to work getting dimensions right. It was at this time that the idea for an oval vs circle was brought to the table.
The idea for the center great lakes map was all Brett. So, Kyle went back into Illustrator to design the center dome. This was no problem and really tied the compass together well. It’ll look great hanging on a Michigan beach house wall.
