It is a good thing for design students to try getting in contact with design professionals. The main objective is to get a feedback about their works in order to improve their skills and design approach.
However; there are several ways not to do it and others to do it correctly.
In this video some info about this important topic.

To manage a car design project is not easy because it is a complex task. You need a vision, a strategy and most of all you need the right “attitude'” to do it.
In this video I try to explain what does it mean to have that right attitude to manage a car design project. What does it take to impress the right mood to the team to cooperate all together.
Team building and problems solving are important, but the way you as manager work and interact with the team members is more important to achieve the mission.

In my life as designer I saw several times the Undercut in Car Design Contest. Generally the victim is a very talented car designer who is very young, she/he needs expirience and this is the main problem causing the mistake.
In my video I explain how this can happen and what to do to contrast that risk.

Dear friends,
several times some of you keep on asking about how to make an Entry Portfolio for Design school admission. How many drawings or projects? What type of drawings? Just sketches or some color renderings, too? What kind of organization do I need to prepare a good one? How not to miss my chance to be accepted and start my Transportation Design Bachelor program in school.
So, to put order about this important topic I made my latest DESIGN TALK on my Youtube channel talking about the Entry Portfolio and how to make one.
Here the full video and enjoy 🙂
How many times we hear discussions about Design or Style? Designers or Stylists? More than 30 years ago (and unfortunately sometimes still nowdays) the word Design was not really used as today, it was all about Style or Styling and designers were called stylists. However, was it right?
My position is clear: if you have a creative role in a Design Dept of a company (any company) you are a “designer” and you are working on a Design project. Design is the key word and not Style which, to me, is very reductive. Designers (and Design in general) are people that went to Design schools (and not Styling schools) to learn how to use their creativity to make a better looking and functional product. It is the combination of both aspects that give to this professional cathegory the definition as designers.The ability to put together the beauty with the inclusion of hard points problem solving. Design comes from “designare” to make a project!
In this video lecture I explain it better enjoy!
Car Sketch Tutorial by Michele Leonello
Dear friends,
today I have the pleasure to publish an excellent drawing tutorial done by designer & teacher Michele Leonello. The Porsche marker tutorial has everything right to show all the steps to start a good car sketch and end it up with some colors for a brilliant final result.
The first 3 drawings show the first 3 steps which are concentrated on : proportions, linework & tone value base (the light gray marker). It is the best way to block in the overall composition.
Now let’s see the last 3 and final drawings to discover the final result.
As you can see Michele added all value tones in Gray to show depth and volumes (surfaces), he also added the warm and cool values to show how surfaces turn to the light or in shadow, few extra details (tail lights and brakes) and some black to push the drawing in its contrast to make of it a punchy one.
At the end he refined the linework to make it crispy in some areas, final touch the white light spot with white guache on the glass which is also the focal point area.
I hope you enjoied it, now try to do it yourself and post on IG at #lucianobovereview I will give you a feedback.
We all dream to become car designers, those that are at their first designer job dream to draw and model their first car and it is great!
However, in this video I try to explain what comes next. How is a car designer career? Is it good or bad to move up? What responsabilities and how a designer in career will use its creativity? What type of engagement is attended?
Check the video and enjoy!
