INTRODUCTION:
This is a design exercise born as a very simplified version of my failed Pokemon evolution challenge.
You have to design one car with the design language / cues / elements from a real world crappy car (or vice-versa make a crappy car out of a high end car, “HERO-TO-ZERO”, if you will)
PREMISE:
What if boring and exciting cars switched place!
#1 chose a real world car
-
For ZERO-TO-HERO, pick something bad, crappy, unremarcable, boring, mundane, forgatable,
obscure… (Toyota Corolla, Pontiac Aztec, Ford Pinto…)
I suggest a car you know well, your first car, your parents car…
exemple, i went for my first car, the ford escort 1998 (the blobby american one) -
For HERO-TO-ZERO, pick something exciting,
(Lamborghini Countach, Bugatti Veyron, Rolls-Royce Phantom…)
#2 Study the design with pictures online
#3 Apply the design to a new car
- Re-imagine your car
For ZERO-TO-HERO, make your boring, crappy cheap car into something exciting,
(sportcar, supercar, luxury car…)
For HERO-TO-ZERO, take your exciting car and re-imagine it as a cheap boring car
RULES:
#1- YOU DO NOT NEED TO MAKE AN AUTOMATION REPLICA OF THE INSPIRATION CAR
(You can if you want of course, but it isn’t required and does not give extra points)
#2- you’ll need at least 2 pictures of the chosen car sent with the entry, one 3/4 view front+side
and one 3/4 view back+other side. Those have to be sent with the entry as i may not know
that car model and i need a reference .
#3- The car must be made to look like it was designed the same year as the inspiration
(if your inspiration is from 1974, the car mUst also be from 1974, you can’t make it a 2015)
However, you may pick a car of any year as your inspiration
#4- This is a purely aesthetic design challenge, the performance wont be judged
#5- Interiors are not required
#6- Mods are allowed
#7- NO ENTRY CORRECTION
I dont want to be mean, i have yet to have a succesful challenge, i want to keep it manageable, so
double check before sending
#8- You can sent more then one entry
#9- Have fun and go wild
JUDGING CRITERIA
10pts - Is the inspiration car recognisable in the redesign?
(respect of the design language, attention to details…)
10pts - Is the new car believable in its new role?
BONUS
5pts - Originality in detail integration (adapting/modifying design element to fit the new role
HOW TO SUBMIT:
-MODEL name must be the creator’s name
