The new France Rugby kit was unveiled last week, always a fan of their jerseys, as they seem to be (along with the all blacks) the only nations who haven't sold out to sponsorship. I admire what Nike did over the past few years, always tried to do something different when designing for Les Bleus.

As I'm a sucker for simplicity I do like the new kit by Adidas.... it must have been explored by the designers but I wonder what it would have looked inspired by the last Adidas kit they had (95-97) it's a kit I remember mostly growing up watching the five nations.

Here's my quick attempt, Just a bit of practice I would love to do more in future.

RCA 2012 SHOW

Popped into the RCA Kensington today to have at look at this years show, Amazing collection of work, obviously - as an automotive design graduate my main focus was the vehicle design stuff but I have an interest in everything and I have to be honest the Architecture work blew my mind. I wish I had got to spend more time there and actually take some decent pictures. Talented -inspiring - people.

Of course the standard of work at the college is brilliant (I've jotted down some names and will be revisiting their work, It was all too much for me to take in after a heavy weekend drinking /stag do - Brighton) but here are some stand outs for me today:

James Hughes - Bank of England Score Study

Wendy Smith - Olympic Legacy 2034 project.

I love architecture but I'd never been to an architecture graduation show before, not this standard. The ideas, their visions for possible future scenarios are truly impressive and inspiring. I could have spent all day there, these guys have a wall each of research, models and prints, which are artworks in themselves.

Vehicle Design - Unfair to pick out again all the work was outstanding, but here are the two that stood out for me initially.

Jeehoon Shin - Frame + Twist , a vehicle concept based on augmented reality for the user, loved his model and loose exploration sketches.

Lena Knab - Pure Light, Beautiful magnetic levitating concept, great model and her thesis(presentation book) to accompany this project was pure art, lovely graphic design.

Home this week, found some initial doodles for the interior of the Oscuro 2009

sketch off..

some lovely sketches by Chris Lewis, a good friend of mine, absolutley no idea why he hasn't been given a job in car design. He's just started a blog, check it out - http://www.calew85.blogspot.co.uk/

I challenged Chris to a sketch off recently, generally to keep our skills up and get a bit of practice. Mercedes Motorbike was the first brief, posts will be up soon - sneak peak

I just hate it when it's going well and you bugger up a wheel. Unfinished - going to bed

sketch a day

Going to try a sketch a day (try), see how much I improve, I don't have a scanner/wacom or even my pc, so it's old school black polychromo and pictures off my phone.
