All 3 projects deserved the CONTECHS design awards, but there were mixed results at the show. It’s a confusing time to be in automotive design education, should every car be electric, hydrogen, is it car styling, inventing innovative mobility solutions, should you use AI??? The answer is to focus on learning the basic skill sets that you will need in industry, and that industry is looking for: 1. Be able to express yourself in 2D sketching - this is the building block from which every other skill is based. 2. 3D modelling, virtual and manual. 3. Visualisation and presentation. Once you have mastered these skills you can start to express yourself stylistically, and start to look at more innovative solutions… Best of luck to you all!

Why enter design awards? Some competitions cost money to enter - so why do we do it? Because the competition helps me remember to do my best work at all times… and because clients LOVE working with winners.  #DesignAwards #Winning #Competition

Whether it was revolutionising the MINI or creating the new design language for McLaren, or designing flying taxis, my design philosophy has always been the same - a commitment to innovation, sustainability and technology. I profoundly believe in the emotional essence of sketching. In an age driven by digital advancements, many designers only use programs for design which lack an innate human touch.  Enter 'Learn to Sketch with Frank’. Through this course, I want to reignite the passion and emotion in sketching and help enable you to create your own designs.  Pre-purchase my course today and receive an exclusive 20% early bird discount when you use the code SWFP120.

Have you ever been inspired by a pine cone? Won Kyu Kang has. This is just one very specific example, of course, but the South Korean designer, who heads up Kia Worldwide’s Future Design Group, admits that his department is a little unconventional compared to some others, even within the wider organisation. The Future team draws inspiration from nature and much of the role comes down to being a "thinker", he explains in this exclusive interview for Car Design Review X. But thinking alone doesn't cut it: quiet reflection and blue-sky thinking should lead to something tangible. "If your design team is only made up of thinkers, they will make up a lot of theories, but not create so much in practice, while physical designers might only deliver the artefact without thinking. So we need to have a good balance between these two competencies."

25 years since our director Frank O'Connors first eco/sustainable design students graduated. This was one of the earlier undergraduate Product Design programmes with dedicated modules and projects in eco/sustainable design. So 25 years of eco/sustainable design in Product Design education later what have we achieved? #AuthenticLeadership #SystemsDesign #CircularEconomy #Regenerative
