A gentle reminder to enter the Biglorryblog/Designer Techniques 'Design a truck for the future' competition!

Instead of simply asking you to come up with yet another futuristic design, as part of the competition brief we want you to pick an non-automotive 'Big-name brand' (like Apple, Sony, Nike, Google or Starbucks) that you particularly admire. Then we want you research that brand until you understand its' corporate whilst at the same time you'll also study the requirements of a typical truck (in any world market). Armed with that information you'll then create a truck design that offers an improvement over the equivalent vehicle on the market today---but one that also represents and reflects the values of your chosen 'brand'.  Besides this, you're free to be as creative as you wish!

The top entrants will walk off with some terrific prizes. Letraset is offering a fantastic selection of equipment for you to win, including markers from their very popular Tria range. What's more, the winning entries will also be featured in Commercial Motor, Truck & Driver and of course Biglorryblog! And as if that wasn't enough, the first-placed winner will also receive the fantastic opportunity to send their folio to Kristofer Hansen, Chief of Design at Scania AB for personal suggestions and guidance.  With many years experience leading the design of one of the world's most successful heavy truck brands his advice and feedback should prove invaluable in advancing your work.
