Motor Trend Design Collaboration
-June 2016 Cover Story
-March 2022 inEVitable Apple Design
In late 2015, a team of a few Art Center College of Design key select students and faculty were invited to discuss the experience and vision of the highly anticipated Apple Car. I was assigned to convert our discussion into a design to be featured for Motor Trend. Once the deliverables were given it was promoted to the front page for the June 2016 issue. It was a highly controversial design and I was later informed was the highest selling issue of all time for the company.
Six years later, rumors of the Apple car resurfaced and Motor Trend reached out to revisit and update the project. It turned out that many of our predictions came true on the previous car as seen on the Canoo van among other new autonomous and rideshare tech startups.
This time I had the opportunity to work with Kunaal Kulkarni to not only design the vehicle, but collaborate with a 3D printed model for him to shoot with his extreme photo techniques, and develop some videos and images for both the printed issue and online.
We also expanded the vision of my graduate thesis to create a Total Mobility Package where an end to end transit system would supply the ideal vehicle specific to each journey.
