TATRA CONTEST WINNER:

ADI aka Adrian Dewey

The quality of the entries was very high but in the end the members choose Adi’s design as the best Tatra entry. With its flowing lines too its small details such as the center headlamp and the fin bulge on the deck lid the car looked modern but kept enough of Tatra’s past to make the perfect design. Congratulations to Adrian Dewey for winning this months contest and as the winner he gets to make the rules for the next contest.

I started off doing some strange sweeping side views to get an overall feel of some of the shapes I wanted but felt that they were probably a bit too mad for the brief so I used some of the design cues from these early sketches and combined these with a bit more traditional shape..to compete with the likes of BMW, Mercedes and Jaguar.
I could then get a shape that was a sports saloon but retained details like the fin etc. I developed the cetral light into an ambient light with a grille that incorporated 'Tatra'.

Peter entered his best design to date. The car design is simple yet flowing and has a charm about it that could actually be a Tatra. He has made great strides with his rendering abilities and S&D would like to reward him with the Editors choice.
