Random design thought 💭: ornamental metal gates are basically analog pixels.

I’ve been noticing ornamental metal gates and the patterns in them. The repetition and structure started to feel really similar to how we design digitally - grids, modules, pixels.

So for this project I translated traditional metal gate motifs into cross-stitch-style patterns. Basically taking something forged and ornamental and rebuilding it inside a grid.

The final piece is a one-page yearly calendar (with a few color variations), where both the patterns and the type are use cross-stitch forms.

Just a small exploration of how repetition, craft, and constraints show up across mediums - from metalwork to digital design.

What other analog systems feel like “pixels” to you?
