Nottingham Trent University – Car Design – Nottingham Trent University

Explore the world of car design during this one-week course, where you’ll delve into exciting approaches that are shaping the future of car design and creativity.

The car industry has seen rapid changes in how vehicles are designed: whilst the trend is to use digital technologies to create visuals, every great car design begins with an idea on paper. This course is an opportunity to explore the creative process of car design away from a screen, develop your drawing skills and thinking around car design. You’ll build confidence in getting your ideas down on paper and develop fundamental design skills, taking your ideas from sketches into perspective drawings that could be used by 3D modellers in the design process of designing a new car. This course is ideal if you’re interested in cars and how they are designed, or are thinking of further studies in product design, industrial design, or transport design. It’s also for anyone with a keen interest in drawing looking for a creative challenge. Dive into the world of tomorrow’s transportation! We’ll challenge your thinking about cars, exploring the realms of electric and autonomous vehicles, envisioning the future smart cities and the role your designs could play. Sharpen your drawing skills specifically tailored for car design; from basic sketches to intricate perspective drawings.
