| YouRail Design Contest - Visions of modern transportation by Bombardier Posted: 30 Oct 2009 06:52 AM PDT Is publishing your contents on online design communities or hosting your own portfolio site enough for creative satisfaction? Don't you want evaluation or recognition for your efforts? Much like how a post is done on YD, where we hear scores of you either trashing or praising a design, forcing the designers to re-think his strategy or go-ahead with his convictions. The Bombardier YouRail Design Contest by HYVE gives you instant feedback, allowing you to re-think your contribution or simply refining it.
The contest is really simple, you only need to register, get inspired and submit your design ideas. The contest is about the creation of new and innovative interior designs for trains. Questions like how a modern train interior should look like and what kind of innovative features should be integrated need to be solved. It is irrelevant if participants have great experience in interior design or not, the contest is addressed to professionals, students, hobby designers and everyone who is interested into the topic. The designs can be submitted drawn freehand or computer generated, by using the configuration tool or just by explaining the interior idea. Participants may either design a seat upholstery with the configuration tool or freely create an interior design to the following three topics:
Like I mentioned to participate you need to simply join the community and submit your own vision for interior design in trains. Or you can create your own seat cover with the 3D - configuration tool. Anyway, you can discuss and evaluate the designs of the community and win great prizes: The members with the three best freely created designs amongst all three topics win cash prizes up to 2.000 Euros. The members with the three best configured designs also win cash prizes up to 600 Euros. Plus: The members with the 4th to the 10th best freely created designs win netbooks. Hurrah! The winning design will be built as a prototype and will be exposed on the InnoTrans 2010 in Berlin which is the leading trade fair in transportation. Besides, the designer of that winning design will be invited by Bombardier to visit the InnoTrans 2010. In addition, the most active member as well as the best freely created and configured designs according to the community evaluation are rewarded with a netbook, too. Finally, one idea will also win a netbook (and a signature book about Bombardier) by the "president's pick" where the jury select the most unconventional idea. The jury has an impressive line-up with high-level management and design experts - get to know them here: http://yourail-design.bombardier.com What is really impressive is that like our YD community, there is instant feedback and reaction to your designs by the community members. So participating in this contest really makes sense. You get evaluated not only by your contemporaries, but also by an elite panel of judges. Which other design competition can boast of this killer combo? To know more on the contest details hit here. The whole contest phase is being charged by the HYVE Innovation Community GmbH. HYVE is a German innovation agency dealing with customer integration into the product innovation process. Feel free to get all important information about HYVE on their website, or contact them directly. |

Made by designer Hopfgartner Gerda to spearhead a new age in 4/4 design, this is indeed the “Gavari” Semiacoustic Violin. Created in co-operation with a professional Viennese violin maker to assure perfect dimensions and sound criteria. The Gavari semiacoustic violin was made with virtually no change from a classical violin in the areas of geometrical curvatures and material thickness in the cover and the soil. Playing this instrument requires no education beyond that of the average violin player. The design aesthetics of this violin are inspired by giant boats. Boats and yachts of the 50s as well as feminine curves and “sundry corset outlines” of the Baroque, Rococo, and Biedermeier ages. Maybe this reminds me of the violin in the movie Starship Troopsers? I hope that is not a crime. That and this are basically the coolest violins I’ve ever seen in my whole life. Designer: Hopfgartner Gerda

| Posted: 30 Oct 2009 12:01 AM PDT There’s no deflection like reflection! Does that make sense to you? It will in a second here, just wait. As for the title of this post: this products we’re about to explore is a Heat Reflection Canopy and it’s made, quite simply, to keep your patio warm. Oh that didn’t explain it well enough for you then, ey? Well perhaps our alien overlords could explain better? Yes indeed, this project’s look gives a nod to the ol’ radio broadcast and sci-fi story War of the Worlds. In the story, we humans are saved from an alien invasion by pathogenic bacteria against which they cannot defend themselves. The same will be true for the earth if humans ever die out - pollution will be obliterated by the natural recycling process of mother nature. *Also the object of the project looks like an invader. Thus, this project. Designer Russell Zoran Corder has made what basically amounts to a series of reflection panels made to continue use of heat which would normally escape into the air, thus reducing the amount of energy we’ve got to use to heat a chilly patio. Fun? Yes? Yes! Fun. Designer: Russell Zoran Corder

In that same fantasy land, cabs drivers and passengers actually believe in carpooling! For such fantasy situations is the Carpool LED Top Light. This sprightly indicator harnesses the wind energy via the embedded fan to power the indicating lights. Sadly we don't live in Utopia and we can never find a cab, let alone share one! Designers: Xi Ouyang, Yuanbiao Jin, Yao Sun & Yelu Liu
