This is the 3rd video dedicated to Interior Car Sketching, how we can use the same layout to make and develop several different dashboard ideas and concepts.
Many of you lately are asking me to talk about mood boards as part of design project presentations. What are they there for? Why do we have to think about a mood board for our design project presentation? What about how to make one?
In this video I try to explain the useful use of a mood board in a design presentation.
I invite all of you to check our 7 Questions Challenge Industrial Design video on Youtube. We are many ID designers telling about our story answering to 7 questions.
Passion & Talent in car design is a big thing that needs to be clearified. Several people believe that it is enough to have a srong passion for cars to start a career as car designers.
Therefore, they try to go to design school and very often they are not accepted. In this video I try to explain the difference between Passion for car design & Talent for car design.
It is difficult to find the right words to describe the man, the artist, the designer, the visionary talent he has been and how much he inspired all of us and still will continue to do for next generations to come.
Syd Mead was born in Minnesota on the 18th of July in 1933, he was a student of Art Center in Los Angeles (later renamed Art Center College of Design in Pasadena) where I graduated in 1959. Car designer first and visionary designer later he is most known and remembered as probably the most visionary designer whom inspired the Science Fiction movie industry in USA during the 80’s. Star Trek and Blade Runner just to name a couple of films that made us dream of a future life really different from the real one we were living at that time.
Great Video Interview made by Fireball Tim Lawrence (my ex classmate)

Syd Mead,
since his Design Company creation in 1970, worked also for some European firms
as industrial designer and visionary designer, he also gave a strong
contribution to some important Japanese brands like Sony or Minolta, he
contributed to some video games productions.
I met him
when he came to visit our school (ACCD) during my 7th semester, he
came to give a speech with many visuals and we were all completely struck by his
words and images, definitively an inspiring person. After his speech he came
down stage to talk to us closer and we discovered a very nice person, too.
Warm, smiling and enthusiast to share his experience.
When I
started to teach car design often, I would say to students: please search for
this name “Syd Mead” you will find the right inspiration!
We all love his illustrations and his gouache technique, we all tried to copy it mixing the indigo blue the black the white the orange and violet for the sunset reflections, the glass reflections and the magic rule for the Warm light and Cool light, the dramatic perspective for a dynamic composition on paper. I could continue, we all learned from him to be better and more complete designers (in any field).
Syd Mead
was someone with an extraordinary talent, one of a kind. He worked motivated by
his strong passion for designing the unknown and he never really stopped. He
inspired tons of people and still will because he is unforgettable!
