The Techniques of Harald Belker 4

Car Design and Presentation

Sample Clip

The ability to design a car is not something anyone can just pick up by taking a class or drawing for a few weeks. It requires a serious amount of dedication and many hours of practice. Harald will take you step-by-step through his design process and give you a look into the complexity and challenges of designing a vehicle similar to the one he designed for Minority Report. In addition, he will also introduce one of the cars he designed for Hotwheels®, and take you through each step of its design process. At the end of the lecture he quickly renders a car's side-view within Adobe Photoshop®, and shows some of the many tricks he uses to complete a powerful presentation of the design.
