amchardy unregistered	posted 12-23-2003 07:38 PM Wondered when someone might say that! Well, I enjoy all areas of design. I love product for the problem solving and innovation. Automotive for (you guessed it) styling and emotional ergonomics, expression and interpretation and Interior for human psychological issues such as movement through space, comfort zones, enjoyment,etc. I dont mind which area I work in.

blooders unregistered	posted 12-23-2003 07:43 PM i hear what you are sayin but dont you think you are spreadin yourelf too thin, i think its wiser to concentrate all your efforts into one area, who cares about putting all your eggs in different baskets, risk takers will succeed, you seem too sensible to me.

amchardy unregistered	posted 12-23-2003 07:59 PM Thanks for that mutha hubbard. And yes you can get a 'he he'! You got any bo advice for the po..rtfoli...o? IP: Logged
blooders unregistered	posted 12-23-2003 08:02 PM sensible do you want a dictionary, listen, im up for sensible but you need to chill, designers are like kids trapped in a grown ups body, thats where the creativity comes from,although im not saying you are uncreative. just chill a bit IP: Logged
amchardy unregistered	posted 12-23-2003 08:05 PM Qu est ce c'est? Have I said something insulting? Do I seem a little crazy? Chilling is for wimps. Action is the key. Go getter attitude. The buzz, the excitement, the desire to finish a godfrsaken project just so you can start the next for the thrill of the new. Thats what its about!!! Chill. IP: Logged
blooders unregistered	posted 12-23-2003 08:18 PM now you deff need to chill you do seem a little crazy. dedication is all good and well but all work and no play turns amchardy slightly ..., get my drift you have good intentions but honestly you need to work on your portfolio, im no god and yes i do have faults but im looking out for a fellow designer in need, i had loads of bull at university and always wanted people to tell it to me straight, so here it is, like an arrow IP: Logged
amchardy unregistered	posted 12-23-2003 08:24 PM OK, i'd like a look at your work please. Can you post a link. And oh yeah, chilling is ok for a while, but then it just becomes laziness!!!!!! I am not lazy, never have been, never will be. Just eager, energetic and optimistic. God sorry for being such a loser to you, but in many places, thats what they are after!!!! Oh and please can you comment on my work and not my personality, cause frankly, how can you judge???!!!! IP: Logged
blooders unregistered	posted 12-23-2003 08:29 PM now now theres no need to get al PMS on me , you need to look outside the box, there is more to a designer than his work and personality is possibly just as important. no i dont know you but i know you about as much as an interviewer does and i could be your interviewer. ive already todyou about your work but ill have a good look and try some more constructive comments, remember tho i will be honestly truthful www.coroflot.com/blooders IP: Logged

amchardy unregistered	posted 12-23-2003 08:35 PM Well what can I say? Impressive work. Think you need to think about bringing it al together as one though no? Before you knock me down, how bout you get up here first! IP: Logged
blooders unregistered	posted 12-23-2003 08:56 PM okay a nice model of the a1 but doesnt fit into the audi design language, this looks like an afterthought to me, however the s2002 is very good. the fhm interior sketch is very vague and the use of materials isnt that apparent sketches a bit rough, the coffee table looks like a trophy project, the large piece of what im guessin would be glass is highly dangerous bein supported wher it is. the britle nature of glass would suggest that if you put the coffee cup down too hard it would brake the corners are als a law suit waitin to happen, The mission speakers wont load but shetches look too rough but cant really comment the auto interior is very good, but now im convinced the audi is an after thought as the interior is not suggestive of audi and you havent clained it to be, diff concept maybe the truth hurts sometimes but its the critism that makes up improve any suggestions for mine IP: Logged
amchardy unregistered	posted 12-23-2003 09:27 PM Well thanks for the replys. The A1 uses contrast and tight 2nd degree surface and form to give a robust, solid feel that is so evident in Audi design ethics. And it is fair to say the vertical grille puts a new slant on things but this is what its about. The challenge of convention. FHM is very difficult to explain in one board.More of a sketch style board for interior design. Will try to put more work up. And there is such a thing as tempered glass which is estimated to be 90-100 times stronger than normal doesnt chip and certainly wont break unless you drop a brick on it Rough sketches are important are they not. I have been told that twenty pages of this a day will keep the redundancy away!!!! Yours!!!Well... For a start nobody is gonna be arsed to read all that description. Short, snappy and to the point. Think the text on the rower is not bold enough. Needs an outer glow or something to make it clearer. I find myself looking at the lightning more than the product. Is this good? Great Interior model. But what does what? Steering wheel a bit skewed is this deliberate? Annotation would be good Auto&Design 413??? Dont think they are passed 150? Details details details. Great sketches for blower but what do the bits do? Arrows give me a vague clue but not enough? Well these are my thoughts on your work. I hope we both produce better work from it. IP: Logged
blooders unregistered	posted 12-23-2003 09:42 PM okay i may have been bit harsh, the audi is aparent to a degree and i suppose this could be a future concept, the tempered glass yeah i see it, but it was a snap judgement its good to defend what you work it shows you know and believe in your shiat sketches are good, i didnt say they were bad. i said rough, remember its all good having nice lookin stuff but its ideas that count, you seem t be goin in the right direction will reasses my work got it up in a rush and so need to cahnde sme stuff thanx for crit oh merry christmas IP: Logged
