Argento Reloaded 1 Report post Posted October 14, 2006 Well guys what a mess! First of all my apologies because I think my english is not as well as it should be! Mike far from me any insult intention. The fact is that a good designer needs a good cultural background just to understand what the people like all around the world because today can be designing at USA and tomorow at Japan or Europe. I suggest Europe because he is american in the same way I suggest USA if he studied at Europe. Just to now the other half of the design world. Regarding IED (Istuto Europeo di Design in italian) is one of the most regarded schools in the world and personaly I ranked very high the italian industrial and automotive design. The other schools are first class too including the Art Center. Nevertheles each schools have its strenghs and weaknesses or better said a slightly different orientation and is very important to find whats sui to you. Regarding the course I am doing, it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

c21 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2006 No worries, my friend. I see your point about being culturally aware to help design autos. I bow to your greater knowledge in this area. I can see the logic of an Italian school being on the cutting edge. I personally think the Italians design the best-looking cars/motorcycles/furniture, etc....Here's another thought for anyone wanting to get into car design. Toy companies, such as Mattel (Hot Wheels) employs automotive designers for their line of cars. I can tell you, some of the most cutting-edge designs are on some of those toys! Murray, I'm not saying I designed an f1 car for a hobby. I would recommend getting a cheap design program and start playing. Heres a couple of pics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

c21 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2006 Nice job!!! What program do you use? Believe it or not its a architectural program called Sketchup, I started playing with it, and went too far! Go to sketchup.com and you can download a free 8 hour trial. Its not exactly meant for this kind of designing, but its a good start for 3d design. I have since started to learn Catia, which is what is used in f1 and its a whole different ball game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sketch Up is cool. I've tried it but generally use Architectural Desktop and Vectorworks Architect for my work. And a bit of Photoshop. Solidworks looks good, and I've used Rhino (excellent) and Revit but Catia isn't really cut out for my stuff. Ben, try not to get arrested......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No because without tuition fees the wealthy, old ladies wouldn't take pity on me any more. Actually I think fees are not as bad as they sound because they're tiny in comparison to a lawyer's salary. You'd be much worse off if we paid higher taxes instead! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah Murray Walker, that was a weird reply - must be 'that' time of month... Love the difference between American and English (being very general here!) humour though - the American friends I have over here are really into slapsick-type humour and very much into Python.

Id hate to live in England. In the 1970's university was free in Australia. This was great as it meant that anyone smart enough could become a doctor or a lawyer but unfortunatly the right wing party got back into power and now only the rich smart people can go to university.
