There has been discussion on this forum about the CNC Joints shown on -digital-wood-joints before. Over 50 types of CNC-able joinery. I never looked through the content tho. It seems it is a powerpoint type presentation of the joinery (in PDF form). They show 10 or 11 types of furniture in them, tho no diagrams or measurements. I decided to take the desk pic and give the it a try in Sketchup. Actually fairly simple, and knock it out in about 30 minutes. Then added a few designs and a second support near the front.
This is only 1 inch under the max size the 1000 can cut so I had to measure carefully. I found 24x48 sheets of 1/2 inch MDF fairly cheap at home depot. I placed a 1/4 inch board under as a cutting board, secured it in place with tape, then taped the 1/2 inch MDF to it after measure and making alignment lines. Once I am done with the first desk, I now have alignment cuts in the cutting board as guides to the next few I will make.

Not to say that a good style can't be added to the purely functional parts but it'll have to suit your desk doings. So - first thing is really to consider what your desk must provide you in the way of facilities. Generic desks are usually inadequate in one way or another.
The surface area always needs to be larger than you think you'll need. Desks end up covered with "stuff". A computer desk is, paradoxically, worse than the old fashioned sort of desk, as it must have a flat top for the monitor, keyboard & mouse/mat and perhaps another peripheral or two. Yet it still has to have room for all the other desk stuff that's paper-based. And the computer and software manuals. :-) No room for a desktop organiser!
I've found that having raised breadboard ends and perhaps a backboard is useful. They stop the desk-sprawling "stuff" from falling off the sides and the back. If the desk is up agin' a wall, you can perhaps do without the backboard.
There's never enough drawer space either. In the desk pictured (made some years ago in the Greene & Greene style) there's four drawers along it's 6ft length. They're not enough for the various documents, computer books, connecting cables, DVDs and all the rest.I ended up making a matching bookshelf thing to take the overflow.
Don't forget the basics - enough knee room; facilities for wires at the back of a computer desk; a finish tough enough to stand the coffee cups, sandwich crumbs and all the shuffling about of the "stuff".
But after all that, it does have to look good too. Personally I like a desk to be made of attractive timber with well-arranged grain, proportions, edges and so forth - like any other good piece of furniture. A melamine top might be "practical" but it's jes' too ugerly!
Being wary of believing "I'm a designer" I prefer to make things using the basic design styles of others far better at it than me. In this case, it was Greene & Greene. Here is the result before I cluttered it all up with the "stuff". I'm sitting at it now. I can see a few bits of wood under the "stuff". :-)
I like the curved one for its simplicity and versatility (works & looks good as just a table). I built a similar one and as we only have laptop computers now, we don't need the storage space for the big CPU. Don't be tempted to make the apron wider to get deeper drawers, as that messes up the knee room.

The plans reflect an easier way to assemble the desk after building it myself with no set plans. Tip: Put plywood pieces on a flat surface to attach legs as as using a sawhorse the plywood may not be lined up evenly.
I wanted to create an epic gaming desk that would give me the flexibility to adjust things as my streaming setup, and skills improved and keep everything off my desk so I could focus on the stream and not the junk sitting on my desk.
I started with a basic idea of creating a frame that looked like a stage truss, the metal frames used in live productions and trade show booths. Considering all of the benefits of a truss system, like easy mounting points for gear, strength, rigidity, etc.
For the desktop, I went with basic 2 x 10s from Home Depot and had the friendly staff there cut it down to size for me; this made transportation very easy and saved me a bit of time during the final assembly.
I broadened my search terms after getting discouraged and frustrated with my DIY monitor mount. After another hour or so of Googling various phrases that I thought would return what I was looking for, I finally stumbled upon a VESA pipe mount on Amazon.

Fortunately, our library is planning a renovation over the next several years, and it is likely we will have the opportunity to redesign my service desk, as well as others around the building. My hope is as we make plans, we look for the most flexible design options available, and distance ourselves from our wood and Corian past.
So after taking some measurements, and considering the joinery I wanted to implement, my initial concept for this desk came about pretty quickly. I chose to keep the overall design relatively simple, reducing it down to a desktop and legs. No drawers, cabinets or special compartments. Just an old school desk. I designed the desk and rendered all of the images shown here in Blender.
Using sliding dovetails to join the long understructure rails will require taking out a good chunk of material from the cross pieces. So that was one of the reasons I wanted to make the cross pieces wider in order to maintain their overall strength. Doing so also maintains a solid run of lumber for joining the front and back legs. Lastly I curved the ends of the cross pieces to account for the kata-sage-ari leg connections, which need to be adequately offset from the end grain of the legs to prevent the grain from blowing out when locking these joints with the wedges. All of this came together in a pleasing way, with all of the joinery and design considerations feeling purposeful.
