Progress Report.

Right, some boring stuff. Nigel came over last week to oversee the progress being made at Trilix (NIgel being the bloke who is helping run the show from Detriot and is my point of contact with Kevin Fisher). We reviewed the various chassis configurations and also the various styling themes to go on the differing chassis, the styling being easily tranferable between chassis with minor tweaks. Finaly, we came up with the definative list. The good news to come from this is that Nigel followed through on the possibility of me taking command of a small part of the proceedings. I have been given the remit to come up with a styling direction of my own and adapt it to one of the chassis (got to choose its name too!). The chassis isn't the best one in my opinion but, hey, I am the upstart student! Unfortunately, I'm a little reticent to go into anymore details on this. Styling wise I've generated two good, solid directions that are fairly similar, same shilouette and basic volumes but with very different lamps fromt and back and side characteristics. I've taken the decision to be a bit more brave and experimental than the other guys as I have nothing to lose I guess. The plan is I'll propose the more conceptual ideas and at least I'll get some attention and it will be better for my portfolio eventually, and if it gets chosen I'd be over the moon, obvioiusly. The review is with Mr Rattan Tata himself in 3 weeks time. Just got to render and present my designs nicely now...
