Defiant Design Appraisal: Peugeot DL 122

http://technabob.com/blog/2012/03/12/peugeot-dl-122-commuter-bike/

If I were the Peugeot DL 122's designer, I would proposed this sporty bi-cycle with a Electric Power Assist.

もし僕だったら、本革鞄付き、アシスト付きスポーツバイクにするな！

And, other Electric Powered Assist Bike

The Original American Idol

The "split window" that Bill Mitchell (1912 - 1988), the chief stylist at the time, pushed passed the opposition of other board members, but while sales leaped two-fold over the previous year, the poor visibility to the rear was much criticized (Motor Magazine referred to "that bar in the rear window"), and the model disappeared from show rooms in just one year.

当時のチーフ・スタイリスト，ビル・ミッチェル（1912‐1988）が他の役員をねじ伏せて実現させたといういわく付きの“スプリット・ウィンドウ”は，売上が前年の倍に跳ね上がったにも関わらず，後方視界の悪さで当時のMotor誌から“that bar in the rear window”（リア・ウィンドウの中の邪魔物）と批判されたためか，わずか１年でショールームから姿を消してしまうのだが，,,,

THE ORIGINAL AMERICAN IDEL

The Corvette Mako Sark in1961: Bill Michael, GM Vice president of Styling wanted to paint this Car with Shark's color, because it was inspired from the real Mako Shark he has caught during his vacation. Bill asked GM's paint-shop to paint a exactly as same color as the Shark's model in his office that was molded out from the Shark. However, The color never came out good after their many attempts, and they happened to paint his model taking out of his office as same color as the car at end. Bill looked so happy about the color, according to my friend.

この車はビル・ミッチェルが休暇中に釣ったアオザメからデザインのヒントを得たらしい。だから彼はこの車をアオザメの色に塗装したかったらしい。GMの塗装係に頼んで、彼が休暇から持ち帰ったその剥製モデルと同じ色を希望したらしいが、なかなか上手かなっかたようだ。結局モデラーは困り果てて、モデルの方に車のカラーを塗装にして誤摩化したらしい。

気づいてか、気づかなかったのか, 彼は終止　至極ご満悦だったらしい。

Design proposals, Inspired from fish and shellfish.　

なら、魚介類からヒントを得て、デザイン！

- PS Step by step Demo.

1) Sketch on a sheet of copy paper then scan the sketch.

-

-

2) Draw the horizon and ground according to the design of the car's surface. Once you do this well,

you can give the surface a more solid expression.

-

-

3) When you draw in the reflections on the glass surfaces, the interior seen through it and the beltline on the opposite side, the sketch becomes more three-dimensional.

It is also important to give the car a sense of shine.

-

-

4) The aim is to propose a Firebird with an attractive stance, so we draw large wheels about 20 inches in size.

In this composition the body side is seen from a rather high point, so we give the wheels an oval shape accordingly.

-

-

5) We shape the wheel into ovals, change the opacity for the front and back wheels (denser for the latter) and put the focus point on the rear of the body.

We draw the side sill black to tighten up the underbody.

-

-

6) Draw sky with an air brush on the up-turned surface of the body side (the surface perpendicular to the light source remains white).

Brush repeatedly according to the shape of the surface to create a sense of three dimensions.

-

-

7) Finally draw in the details (headlights, side air outlets, tail lamps, exhaust pipe, etc.). The car is completed for now.

-

-

8) Next we draw the background.

We can use layer masks and draw quickly, without worrying about the car.

Here we have used a watercolor touch to express the car's potential with power.

-

-

9) We combine the background with the car.

We cut out the background slightly overlapping the car then adjust with the eraser tool to improve the boundary between the car and background.

If the background seems too strong or too weak, you can adjust it by changing the opacity or with the options.

Demonstration in Visual Communication class at CCS.

Marker + Chalk on Vellum sketch technique , then Photoshop. I call this "Analog Digital techniques", ha ha ha .
