YuGe's mood board is okay as far as it goes but it would be good to expand on this research board issue by including several such panels.
----
Brand Image- the design history of the target company should be covered with its notable previous products to help guide and inform the Brand's visual image. What details, themes, etc. make the Brand? What is the design "dna" of the Brand?
Lifestyle - who is the target buyer/customer/user? What activities, lifestyles, etc. are associated with them? How does this compare with the same numbers for the Brand's present customer base?
Design Inspiration - what forms/objects in art, architecture, Industrial Design, etc. might lend inspiration to the design of this vehicle?
Facts and Statistics - sales information, vehicle types offered by the company, etc. Any information to better understand the company and where it is moving. What are the affecting trends in the industry in general?

thats exactly what i want to see. i like the mood board ideas. very nice

Ok i came up with a quick idea for the wheels.
Basically thinking about summer fashion trends, and how the hibiscus flower is popular in swim wear motifs and designs. So i came up with a wheel that draws inpsiration from that. It's very basic for now:

Ok , now my two cent:
Well soo first of all lets get our GENERAL Idea , a 2+2 is nice but also doing something diffrent is good , I liked Yuges mood board , and well i live in the a sutable place for the car (its winter now and its like 17+ degrees outside (cesious or however you speel it) , and well you know I had like two ideas (in like 2 min soo its a nice number) soo:
1. lets make a nice long 2+2 with a hard opening roof , now where the roof is folding there could be a nice surface on which you can ly on ( I magine a hot chick in the sun on the this well cool grey surface , --> a vehicle for young people.
2. well this Idea is also nice , wel make this huge (in some way) ahhh car-ship well the driver is on the upper floor with some ppl and there is a place in front of him which is lower , big wheels , its a sort of a nice desert cruiser or just a cruiser , you can load it with lots of technology which will give it the ability to drive it itself or just with a supervisor --> its for a group of young people.

well about me myself , I dont consider myself as a good designer and infect I dont think I sketch that well but people say im quite ok , infect I think that we all can post two or tree sketches which could show our abilities and then we can decide who will do what , although it doesnt really matter , I think rims arent a really big deal....

soo shall we start?

Team Rnault

Lets begin. A time table is a great way to gets us all in stride.

lets run the project in weeks.

for example

week 1 completion of mood boards
brand dna/ time line

week 2 brainstorming begins

etc.

alfo great info; i would like you to come up with more boards to help in directing our team, if u can.

Alex Carver cool rim.

Development is very important in the creation of any product. As a team we all want to see the inital sketches, images of your inspiration then the final render.

David32 good direction. I think we should vote on which way to go proceed with out project. Time is a factor in the design process.

Am fine with your suggestion.

Team Renault, you rock.

Good idea Yuge, i'll post a mood board soon
