Ideas and Approaches 1111

since Ck has his own module.
i will start my own too.
its 1111. well. cos my bday is 1111. pls remember.
anyway. my module is basically on design
and ESPECIALLY CAR DESIGN.
like it or not.
i may suggest everyone can start a "module"
like zhuping can do on fashion or something, then maybe the blog wont be so zzz.

anyway..for my first lesson.
i will define what is really daft design and following that, absurd advertising:

now, after launching the Mercedes C Class late last year or something, Merc would naturally follow up with a Coupe version.
now for those who didn't know, these were the old models (the old C Class and the C Class Coupe below):

here is the 2008 model of the C Class:

following which... they deliberated on possible coupe versions (quite nice right, good potential!):


and now...*drumroll* here is the design the GENIUSES at Merc went with (now known as the CLC):









did someone say "hideous". i mean, the old model of the coupe was already bad enough, so they had a chance to fix it, and they basically made the old model with the newer-styled lights.



and now, here is the most ridiculous and shameless ad ive ever seen. in today's papers:

listen you Merc designers. hire me.
and listen you ad people - in my dreams, i definitely dont drive a Merc CLC, only in my nightmares.

THEREFORE, the lesson is pretty straightforward.
when designing, choose the best design for production and not the worst.
thanks! and see you soon for another 1111 lesson!
