OK VtEC. Start sending in your posts. Texts or sketches, whatever.
Let me just say that this forum is not just for talking.
Forums have a tendency to get bogged down with small talk.
At some point, the talk has to stop, and then
the DOING commences.

You're in, safeorigin.

Guys, small talk is OK din naman, basta every now and then you send in something relevant and substantial for the various threads in this Design and Research Forum.

Check out http://www.heatherwick.com/

Thomas Heatherwick is presently one of the hottest industrial designers. He is the guy who designed the Rolling Bridge in London, the Longchamp store with the innovative stairs in NYC, and the Blieigiessen scultpure in the Wellcome Trust bldg in Londoni, among others. Try to view the BBC documentary on the way he approaches his designs. Totally out of the box thinking.

While I doubt if he has actually designed an automobile, it won't hurt for aspiring designers, automotive and otherwise, to study his methodology.

You're welcome... to make design-relevant contributions, hitomi.
It's easy enough to make the jump from one design specialization to automotives, if you learn the language and the process. It's analogous to architecture. A car is just a little house with wheels.

Did you guys watch [SIZE="5"]FutureCars [/SIZE]last Thursday?
It's a four part series, so if you missed it, you still have two chances.
[SIZE="4"]Thursdays, 8:00 pm, Discovery Channel[/SIZE].
That's ... TODAY!

See how seven fresh grads are designing the future car (2010) for General Motors.

Hey there, I've been sketching cars for years, on and off. Earlier this year, I drew quite a handful of new ones. Tried my hand to render the sketches using photoshop and it turned out quite nicely although I still consider them to be quite behind the caliber to the ones at cardesignnews.com. But I still vow to keep on improving and hoping to pursue a course in Industrial Design, the closest thing you can get to Automotive Design in this country. But if luck have its way and dumating yung money, I might pursue and Auto design course abroad.

Here's a sample work, quite ambitious I should say, a Ferrari SUV

.

I named it ROVIGO, adjustable ang ride height niyan like Cayenne :D The original drawing was a pencil sketch on paper, scanned and then did the rendering on photoshop. Referred to some pointers online-some links I found at cardesignnews.com. Yung ibang rendering styles, I based it on some drawings from cardesignnews portfolio, dami ko gusto styles dun pero it requires you to have other rendering softwares.
