“Capture The Emotion” design sketching competition

DesignerTechniques and Facebook’s CarDesignPage have launched a 8-week long sketching competition open to students, asking each week to design heavy goods vehicles based on specific themes.

The contest is organized by CarDesign Facebook page, the authors of Learning Curves, DesignerTechniques and Sketch A Day

Each week participants are asked to submit a design sketch of a Heavy Goods Vehicle that captures the essence of a particular keyword.
The announced keywords include soft, aeronautic, aggressive, electric, liquid, humanoid and animal.
The works must present the side view of the vehicle, based on a vehicle package available as a download in pdf format.
The first round has started on September 16h and is based on the word NEW. The deadline for submitting works is September 22nd, 2013 at midnight (EST).
Every week there will be a winner, and after the 8 rounds the jury will select a grand winner among the weekly ones.
The weekly prizes include a copy of Learning Curves and a Sketch-a-Day T-Shirt.

The overall winner will receive an author-signed copy of Learning Curves, a Wacom Intuos Pro and a portfolio review by Kristofer Hansen (Head of Design, Scania AB).
