Nope, lots of sketching. Then lots of cad. Then lots of Keyshot. What area of the country do you work in? I'm in Madison/Milwaukee/Chicago.
The real question is how you filter out all the fat ones.
Nope. That is just directly correlated obvious shit. When I state that the world's best chair was my inspiration, the end result better have bent fucking plywood, not CNC milled compound curved bullshit that ignores all the details that made the chair so great in the first place.
I would say if you're inspired by a suspension bridge, some visual aspect should make it to the design. The arcs. The thin form of suspension. The D shape. The many parallel lines. Something.
bull·shit
Sorry you believe corporate bullshit, man. Keep drinkin that Kool Aid.
Zactly. A4 has quattro, airbags, power everythangs, etc.
The darts can't be that bad. Lot less weight and whatnot.
Right, that's what I meant. R/T wasn't a handling package at all, it was just stripes, rear end ratios, and high output engines, right?
I laughed.
No. It is not bent anything like the way the wood is bent in the chair. At all. If you understood surfacing, or construction methods, you would see this plain as day.
It prompts the question though: If this is how an R/T handles, how bad was the standard Charger? Like a bowl of angry pudding? Then again, I had to remind myself that it was designed half a century ago. It's an old car that wasn't exactly cutting edge in terms of handling back in its day either. The time when…
The Charger goes, then starts wobbling. And since it's as wide as a van, when that big body begins to float around, you really have to be on your toes to keep it together. The steering has nothing to do with the road and because you don't want to overload the system by braking and steering at the same time in a…
The massive instant depreciation?
All designers use all sorts of inspiration. We do image boards for all sorts of things. But we use those image boards to try to pull design details, proportions, and other aspects OF SOME OF THE THINGS ON THE IMAGE BOARD, and put them into the final product. What detail made it? As far as I can tell, none…
I disagree completely.
Huh? I have exactly the job I was wanting. I work at a consultancy and have done work for tons of major brands, and some smaller brands. I do different stuff every day, and help companies develop beautiful products that make it to production. I like my job a lot. I don't like it when bullshit designers spout…
Keep drinkin' that Kool Aid. I'm familiar with the design process that you described because that happens with every product ever designed ever. However, I still call complete and utter bullshit. The bent plywood of the eames chair never had a compound curve, and looks G1 (tangent). All the surfaces on the…
