As the previous post has already indicated we have been having our big annual event here – UID11 Design Talks and Degree Exhibition have been really successful this year with many industry guests present and the possibilities for them to present their companies and studios to the students as well as  to have portfolio reviews for internships and jobs with current students and new graduates. The picture above is taken during one of the breaks – everyone getting some “fika” to keep on getting inspired during the talks.

You can read more about the event here on our own website and  at cardesignnews.com ( if you are having a member login). We are sure more will  hit the web very soon of the amazing projects our graduates have been working on (just click on the names).

While the TD1 students are busily TH!NKing and sketching on their current project (too busy to post but more on that project, soon)  the graduating students had their Degree examinations this Monday and Tuesday. Luciano Bove who is working as a Design Manager at Renault France,  has been the external examiner.  Now the remaining  2 weeks will be the time to get the models and posters ready for the Degree Exhibition. If you plan to come to our Degree Event,  don’t forget to sign up before the 20th! It will be an amazing show – promise. LET US INSPIRE YOU.

Everyone at TD is really busy these days – there is already another exciting project that TD1 is working on and TH!NKing about while the degree projects from TD2 are taking shape –  hence not much posting has happened at our blog…

Nevertheless we need to make an update on the latest finished OCKELBO project by TD1 students  that is currently buzzing in the motorcycle/snowmobile and ATV media.

During a 10 week  course Alexandra, Anton, Casey, Erik, Louise, Richard, Rickard and Yujin  have designed a new inspirational line of vehicles for the Ockelbo brand, which stopped production in 1989 and is now discussed to be revived.

We have been spotting reports at Fastbikes.se, Motorcyclenews.com, Västerbottens-Kuriren, Hell for Leather Magazine, motodom.ua, atl.nu and  there will be some more following, for sure  :)

Some photos from our group work today, trying to define our brand identity and form language for Ockelbo.

Surprisingly, we came up with one! But won’t tell you what it is yet.

Class of 2010 – you guys are having a  nice 3 page article in the current issue of AUTO & DESIGN showcasing your degree works. It is covering the degree works as well as the current developments at UID and the CHANGE event with keynote speaker Chris Bangle.   Check it out and let’s try to get more of those ;)

From today the brand new TD1 all have access to our blog. We are all curious about your contribution guys and how you will develop this blog further.  :)

Alexandra, Anton, Casey, Erik, Louise, Richard, Rickard and Yujin - the blog is yours!

The rest of you current and former TDs  - have a great summer!
