Ok then its alll over... I will be climbing onto a coach this evening at 7 pm for two hours to Milan Malpensa stopping in a hotel and then getting on my flight to Gatwick just before 11.
The Project stage has come to a close and I have mothing really significant to do at the moment except for writing about about it!
Mr Tata arrived about 4 hours ago and has just left. It was a bit of a disappointment actually. The Project I, Kasra and Justyn have been focusing our efforts on has not been included in the itinerary for today and will not be reviewed in any significant way. The excecs who came yesterday and Tata design chief Pierre had a look over it and picked out a few things that they liked and didnot. But honestly it was just cursorary and, for a designer, a very frustrating affair. We like being told definates otherwise your plans and ideas become shappeless and undirected/informed and leads to frustartion and bad language. I imaging this was good experience though... that this may often happen. Anywhoos, it was my first proper (ie outside university, sorry DB) pin up and present presentaions. I had developed two styling variation on my frame and I had rendered them in a style I had picked up late the week before. Thank you Kasra, you life saver. This, oddly has been one of the best things about the month. the two days where I picked up a new skill, to do rapid and realistic represtations of vehicles in 3D style. It will be immensly useful doubtless. However these will not see the light of day until the car becomes made/homologated and that is planned in 2 years time (so you must read as 3 at least...damn slow these indians...damn slow.) I will have to do some more and keep practicing.
Summary... I done good. I was slow to start with, not being familiar with the project and the package and crucially the design process, I had not done anything like that before. The first week and a bits work was scrapped essentailly with the emergange of new variations. Bad for loss of effort but good as I gained some responsibility. I improved rapidly, though, towards the end learning and applying my new skills. The end results I am very happy with indeed and I am not sorry they are not better as I learned and finished them in 7 days and the results were still good enough to be allowed to be presented to a global head of design. Result!
Right less of that nonsense. I will be posting the best pics yet as soon as I'm able so dont forget about this just yet. My trip to the French riviera, you cant affort to miss it. Just think, If I had gone on Friday I'd not have got to go to Monaco. Close one.
