Anyway, nice job Mr Teo. This design can ‘kick butt’ anytime! even Vios owners will envy to this one

Just imagine, if the savvy, neo, Gen2 putting a reliable engine(Mit/Toyota/honda) instead of Renault / Campro. The sale will be much better and improve.

My brother open photo studio for wedding, and photoshop skill become the most important “weapon” to sale their product/services. With photoshop they can “altered/redesigned/re-proportionate/etc,etc” virtually any part of body/pictures to suit the customer taste and catch up with the latest trend (i.e. like current Miss Universe/World with”big mouth” feature), or to “enlarge” the normal 34″ bust to like Pamela’s approximately 40″ size.

Eveyone who post comment on this site have a fair chance of doing the same if he/she willing and interested to learn photoshop skills and treat it like passion, hobby with great interest on doing what he like to do, with some “artistic” trait. My 20++ nephew work at my brother photo studio is one example that can “transform” normal average girl (i.e. future bride) into as beau as Angelina Jolly/Jeniffer Lopez.

I believe what TheophilusChin do is based on his passion, interest, hobby, skills, artistic trait, etc. I also strongly agree with some of the above comments that on aspects of tech, engineering, R&D, innovation then it will be entirely different ball game again. Do the photoshop look nice by naked eye meet the technical requirement like aerodynamic, etc, etc,…?

Just like the “bride” photoshop picture look like Jlo, but when come to real situation, and if ask her to go under knife/surgery, then it is entirely different ball game again, the likely outcome is definitely it will improve the look. But to look like Jlo, “I am in doubt”?……….

So let’s see if Paul wants to let you guys see the pics

Sketching’s are good enough for a start. Be assured for that. You can certainly try to come up with your own idea of what a possible Proton car would be like, say, 3 years from now on. Ask questions like: what car would be a big hit among Malaysia consumers in 2009? What kinda concept and design theme (may be retro? may be green techie? may be greyish/silver robotic-space age looks??) would be the “in thing” then?

Come up few sketches of such an idea including side profiles, in car line, front and rear views, plan views and obviously – isometric views. It would even be great if you can come up with an accompanying interior concept as well. But bear in mind that designs are only as good as it get unless it can be turn into something feasible for manufacture. Worry about renderings later.

Like what I said, this is how it started in Design Studios.

Cheers!

I’m a graphics designer myself, in printing industry, off course. And I do meet lots of clients, who choose the crappiest of designs over my best works (took me weeks to do). Yup, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Did anyone watch that Discovery Channel documentary on Ford which showed how the process of designing n producing a car goes? U can’t really blame designers, blame the bighats.

I also agree that Sifu Teo must copyright his designs, not get wrangled in by P1 n become a drone therein, n maybe, just maybe design a coupe for us. Thanx sifu teo…

Comments… what if the top was lengthen a bit so that it doesn’t look too cramped n stout on top. I can imagine the car being lowered n slapped wit 20″ ginelli bling blings, wit flames on the side… too much pimp my ride… overall… ok la.

However I do not see the point of saying that his works are such remarkable pieces to the point of bashing Proton designers. This is to further strengthen Zongtwi aka SpeedJunkie’s statements. One should remember that the process of designing (outlooks) for a car is not merely just as simple as what you guys may think it is. The designers have worked on probly hundreds of different designs before they could come up with one which is deemed fit for a targetted market taste. Then you have the issues of engineering the designs which these “artistic” boys wanted… which most of the time is either not fully feasible from engineering’s point of view… or economic’s point of view.

Teophilus Chin is a creative chap. But he has worked on a stable outlook design done by the guys who are in the industry. Thus, Teophilus Chin has got a solid foundation to work on. To be honest, it would be great if Teophilus Chin could work with his skills on a ground-up car. Design from scratch. It doesnt have to be some high tech computer generated 3D models… some napkin sketches would be great…After all, that’s how things get started in the design studios as well.

my main complain for neo is 2-door… but anyway…proton already know it’s for niche market…but now…hope they include a sedan like this one…

damn nice lor…. drooling…
