Ok, bit of an odd one, but here goes.
I'm here for suggestions, a bit of market research if you will.
I'm a 2nd year Automotive Design student at Swansea Met Uni, and we are starting a 'live project' with Land Rover, meaning Land Rover will set us the design brief instead of our tutors. Bit of real world practice. It'll last a couple months, and along the way we will probably go to Gaydon to do small presentations, etc. As a big Land Rover fan, i couldn't be happier, as there is a chance for an internship at the end, and LR would be a dream job for me.
We dont officially get the brief for a week or two, but we know its very open, ie. we can basically do what we want, go crazy! At least initially. That may change further along, as Land Rover see our work and narrow it down.
So here's where you guys come in. Basically i want to see what sort of vehicle you want LR to make. I wont be doing a successor to an existing car, ie the next Disco. I want to do something new, something LR have never done.
It doesn't matter if it seems unrealistic, due to cost or material availability, its not like they will produce these designs. They want to see innovative ideas, and understanding of the brand DNA.
I'll leave a link to some of my work, bear in mind a lot of it is pretty old, but you get an idea of what i do:- garyjpaterson (Gary Paterson) on deviantART
EDIT- Heres where it all began, 8 years old, our Disco series 2.
