New theme board


I am going to change my SUV design because I did not feel my final concept is right for the celebrity that I chose. I might have rushed my design or did not give enough thoughts to the final form and the final surface resolution. An automotive designer whom visited our clay workshop last week came to my table and gave a hand on my model. After I explained my design concept and as we talked I realized that there are so many design "flaw" in my clay model. Starting with the overall proportion that gives him impression that he was looking at an Astra proportion! also the main feature line (criss-cross on body side) does not suit for car that need to look serious, robust, and tough. Criss-cross is being used in few recent production cars (Z4 is obvious example) so it is a modern styling cues for the time being but probably will easily go out of fashion in the next 2 or 3 yrs. So I decided to go back a few steps and re-design my SUV.
