Graphic Design and Visual Communication will be helpful for sure.
Automobile designers combine knowledge of physics with aesthetics to create cars that appeal to the eye while being safe, energy efficient, and fun to drive. If you have a love of motor vehicles and the desire to turn your dream automobile designs into reality on the road, here are the steps to take to become an automobile designer.
~Start preparing for your car design career in high school. Art and design classes are obvious classes to take to develop your drawing skills, but as an automobile designer, you also need fluency physics and mathematics to craft lightweight cars with low wind resistance.
~Decide what area of automotive design interests you most. Automobile designers can work in exterior design, interior design, or color/trim design.
~Build a design portfolio. Because automotive design schools are so competitive, you'll need to have a portfolio of design concepts to show your potential. This portfolio can be either in hard copy or in digital format, depending on the requirements of the school you plan to attend.
~Choose the right college program for you. You have several options to pursue college training to become an automobile designer:
You can go for a bachelor's degree in industrial design, and then either obtain a graduate degree in transportation engineering/automotive design or land an entry-level position in industrial design and use that experience to springboard to an automobile designer position.
You can go for a bachelor's degree as an automotive engineer and try to use your experience to become an automobile designer.
You can attend an automotive design school with an undergraduate program.
You can get your bachelor's degree in graphic design, furniture design, architectural design, or interior design and then go for a master's in automobile design.
Regardless of which path you choose, look for a school that offers computer-aided drafting (CAD) courses and has connections to the automotive design departments of 1 or more automakers.
