University of Huddersfield Degree Show 2004

Nov 13, 2004 - Final year undergraduate students from Britain's University of Huddersfield displayed their work at their annual degree show exhibition in Huddersfield, and also at the New Designers exhibition held in July at the Business Design Centre in London. With 19 graduating students from the BA(Hons) Transport Design course, the range of design projects reflects the broad nature of the discipline; with projects ranging from automotive exteriors and interiors, motorcycles, bridges and urban transportation interfaces. All final year projects have a strong design research element where a student's detailed knowledge and understanding of future market, social and environmental trends validates the project and the core design concept.
