Design Brief
For this second Design Challenge, you’ll have to design the exterior for an SUV or a Crossover SUV. The car design has to fit the story we’ve created about Jan and Mallow, two pioneers exploring a unique looking planet called 51 PEGASI b.
As a designer, you will have to come up with a spacious, luxurious, and technology-driven design for the car. The volume and therefore the layout is entirely up to you, but it should be unique.
We will only ask you to keep a few guidelines in mind:
- The car must have four wheels and space for at least two passengers.
- 51 PEGASI b has the same gravity conditions than the real world.
- A spacious feeling for the pioneers to observe as much as possible of nature when they are driving is wished for.
- Feel free to choose the powertrain as well as any possible future technologies you’d like to integrate.
We’ve created a PERSONA and an ENVIRONMENT for you to fully dive into the scenario for the car. To set the perfect vibe, we have also added a music playlist to get you inspired.
Persona
Jan and Mallow are pioneers. Driven by their desire of exploring new life and environments, they realize that life on primary planets simply isn’t exciting anymore. As pioneers, they see discovering and being one of the first as a privilege and a luxury. Jan and Mallow spend most of their time analyzing biodiversity, allowing them to design objects and modules to be used in everyday life.
Their pioneer suits are both fitted for space travel and everyday exploration jobs. Technology is fully integrated into their clothing but only a few details give away the materials full potential.
Environment
51 PEGASI b is an uninhabited planet. The high contrast between white crystals and black lava stone is very intriguing for the curious pioneers. They think it’s a viable planet.
Average temperatures are fairly low, around 2° Celsius, and humidity is high due to the great amount of living biomass. 51 PEGASI b is a diverse planet with a unique looking vegetation and soil, making it an exciting landscape for exploring and discovering new things.
The explorer habitat consists of a so-called loft-lab equipped with all the technology required to create anything by using the planet resources. It also has all the technical innovations to allow space travel as well as land exploration. All technologies are nearly invisible at first sight, landing gear seamlessly becomes part of the building’s architecture.
The rewards 🥇
For this challenge, we have an amazing set of prizes and rewards for the winners:
For passing the first stage, the five winners will get a FREE Gravity Sketch software license for a period of 12 months to explore their designs in VR. The first two designers will additionally receive a VR headset from Gravity Sketch to use during the second stage of the Design Challenge.
The design proposals that end up in the places 1 to 3 will be 3D-modeled, visualized, and tokenized by the CryptoMotors professional design team. Later on, these models will be put on sale on CryptoMotors’ platform and each designer will earn a 10% commission from the sales associated with his/her design idea.
The first three winners will also receive one CryptoMotors ERC-721 crypto collectible car associated with their design idea, and the participants who end up on places 4 and 5 will get a CryptoMotors ERC-721 crypto collectible car associated with one of the winning designs.
