Hey, budding designers! Have you submitted your designs for the Proton Design Competition 2014? We and the design team are eagerly awaiting your entries, and you'd better hurry as submissions close August 11!
While you guys are busy working on your entries, let's have a look at some of the our stories related to the competition over the past few weeks.
Proton's past concepts
We started with a look at a selection of Proton's previous concept cars to get an insight into what the design team had done before as well as to provide inspiration for the contestants. Among the cars we looked at were the Tuah, which previewed the eventual Prevé, as well as the EMAS from Geneva 2010 which kickstarted Proton's current design direction.
Entry formats and submissions guide
Those who need clarification on the exact rules and regulations of the competition would do well to check out our guide on submissions and entry formats, including paper size, views of the exterior to render and the type and the number of seats of the car itself. This should allow you to focus on your design without having to worry about disqualification.
The design guide
Still scratching your head over how to design a Proton city car for the year 2020? The company issued a set of guidelines for the contestants, based on what the judges are looking for in each design. We also tried our hand at our own city car design, as seen above, though we're sure you can do better...
Interview with Azlan Othman, Proton's head of design
Last week, we spoke to Proton's chief designer, Azlan Othman, about what actually goes on behind the scenes of the design studio, how cars such as the Prevé and the Suprima S were designed relative to their target market and how Proton's design language will evolve over the coming years. He also gave some tips for the competition, so it's something you should not miss!
Don't forget, there's still time to join the Proton Design Competition 2014, which is looking for your vision of a Proton city car for the year 2020. Up for grabs are RM58,000 worth of prizes, including MacBooks, cash rewards, an internship at the Proton R&D Creative Design Centre and even a chance to have your design immortalised as a quarter-scale model at the Proton Gallery.
This is great opportunity for Malaysian youths to be part of something that could define their future as well as that of the local automobile industry. Visit Proton's Facebook page for the entry form and contest details.
