Publisher's Synopsis
Celebrating 50 Years of educating talented students to help them to become some of the worlds best tranportation and car designers, the Tranport Design course at Coventry University is a gateway to the exclusive and secretive world of car and vehicle design. Compiled by Nick Hull, a car design consultant with over 30 years experience and an Associate Professor to the course and author, and Andy Plumb, a graduate from the course 30 years ago who is a car design consultant, and author, this high quality hardback book contains a huge amount of input from previous students and staff members including those that helped to found the course. Once only accepting 11 people a year, and one of the only courses in Europe offering the chance to be a Transport Designer- a job the successful applicants would usually have dreamt about since sketching on their exercise books at school, the course has grown and changed over the years to maintain its position as a cutting edge but specialised window on what the future holds for those lucky enough to work in a motor company in a design position. Over the last 50 years, most of the designers around the world of some of the most iconic vehicles have a connection to Coventry and this course. Both the students and staff have equal dedication and enthusiasm to design at a high level, and many have made connections that have lasted a lifetime.
