Using the metaphor of the “laboratory”, Frame aims to create and support online design communities by offering collaboration tools and visibility to three categories of users: Designers, Universities and Companies.
Frame acts as an idea incubator and as a platform where designers can trace the creative process, deposit documentation and resources and visualize each step of a project's progress.

Each project is visualized as a polygon. Each face of the polygon represent a Project's team player and the colored aura, or "soul" around the project represents the activity level so that a user can quickly get visual feedback on the project status. Additional information, such as project description, is obtained by rolling over an inner side of a given polygon.
