Blog Post 1: Learning about Livery Design and History

Revised Problem Statement: How can I create eyecatching and unique automobile liveries that are aesthetically appealing? Also, how can I apply these custom designs to a 3-D engine?

On week 4, I started to understand what went into the design process of liveries and what the time periods of design were. I started where anyone else would start: Google. Google lead me to a few articles like: https://www.vehiclewrapping.com/2015/06/the-history-of-vehicle-wrapping/ and https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1125360_designing-a-race-car-livery-is-like-walking-on-a-tightrope.

I do not have any concepts yet as learning about this extensive process takes time but by the next blog, I should have the concepts almost completed. I am also mapping out my goals and what needs to be done and when this week. I am going to try and study the numerous amounts of liveries from Formula One to Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show cars to something that can be seen on the street. And I am looking globally as designs in Europe are different to ones in America. I will try to blend these designs.

Porsche and their racing liveries will certainly be an inspiration to my designs. They have many decades of iconic liveries that could still hold up if they were designed today.
