Journal 3






My dream.

I want to write about car design. I think car design is one of the most exciting jobs. Car designers should have special and unique idea. They should have ability to foresee the future too. Car designers draw the future. Some people consider car designers as just gorgeous and luxury career by its external surfaces. But it’s not true. Car design also might be one of the hardest things. It is not easy to create something new. To make future car, they gather enormous information about car, practice everyday and experience a lot of things constantly.
When they make a new model car, they pick theme about new one. And then they draw car’s shape and interior. In this process, designers show their professional skill. After complete this step, they make car based on the picture they drew. It is made by clay in real size with their own hands. Usually this process takes a few months. The car made by clay is called concept car. And car designers can pick anything for their themes. For example, Mazda, Japanese Motor Company, uses ‘cross wind’ as their new concept car theme recently. Even if concept car is completed, it cannot be released. Car Company collects buyer’s opinion and correct concept cars again by people’s opinion. At last, adjust the new model’s price and mass production is started. Then you can meet the new model car at store. But all these processes take about 4~5 years. It means the cars that we are using are already designed about 4~5 years ago.
Have you ever seen ‘Hyundai’ or ‘Kia’ ? These are Korean motor company. Actually Korean cars are not as much popular as European and Japanese cars. But it is changing and developing now. I’m proud of Korean cars nowadays and I hope to work for Korean motors someday!
