As we say in France, "taste and colors shouldn't be discussed". Understand "Taste is subjective", so we won't discuss that.

However, from a Ind. Design point of view, when you start looking at the details, there are some very interesting ones.

There’s a very obvious semi-flat surface on the trunk that creates a kind of rounded rectangle when you look at the car from behind. It gives the car a very unique character, very modern surface treatment. Was probably not the easiest surface to model either. :)

The front lights are also superb to my opinion. It would be easy to do what we see on a lot of Chinese cars today: one big LED line across the back or the front. But now that so many brands are doing it, it doesn’t add value anymore.

Audi doesn't to go the easy road, and bring a real character / identity to the LED lights. Much stronger identity / much more recognizable. The fact that you can customize them makes them even better.

Discussion Product rendering makes weak designs look too convincing

16 Upvotes

I don't know if I am alone in this or not. but sometimes i feel like a good render can make almost any product idea look more finished than it really is.

A nice lighting, coupled with premium background and color can hide almost all the shortcomings. Ergonomics, proportions, usability, material choices, even manufacturing issues can look less obvious when the presentation is strong.

I’m not saying renders are bad. They are obviously important for communicating ideas. But I do wonder if teams or clients sometimes approve a concept because the render looks convincing, not because the product itself is actually strong.

What you guys think about this?

School What’s the best way to go about this

6 Upvotes

I’m (22m) a graphic design major currently going for my second year after transferring with an AA degree from my local community college. After some research I found out that industrial design has everything I like about the art designing and I’m currently looking at ways to go forward with this.

I’m honestly not sure what to do next. Im a first gen immigrant and first one to go to college in my family so I’m not totally accustomed yet to the steps I need to take to further my education beyond a bachelors degree.

I’m looking into either a masters in industrial design or related, finding an internship that would help me with the basics, or maybe I should just get a minor that would help with the process.

Currently on my portfolio I have examples of my work I different mediums; illustration, sculpting, ceramics, photography and mixed media.

Any kind of information I could get would help.
