Format:Paperback
Before reading H-Point, car design simply meant how a car looks. H-Point put that to rest. 'Design is packaging'. This is the philosophy of the book. Every illustration (and there are more of these than words) is clear, concise, labelled, to scale and accurate.
Furthermore, there are design exercises that are perfect for anyone who is interested, or just bored.
I definitely recommend this book for anyone with an interested.

Basically, i bought this book thinking that i was going to read something of interest beings as it was so colourfully described,by the authors.
As far as i am concerned, Actually speaking as a Packaging Expert(not just my words) but as a renowned spokes person in the field, i find this book a complete insult.
It is written from a Styling Perspective and is so Basic it hurts.
All of the Pictures are Very Old and Very Basic, with lots of Styling Sketches.
Most of the Technical verb is from SAE, and basically Most of this is NOT used anymore.
Anyone wanting to learn about Car Design, NEEDS EXPERIENCE.

A big FYI:
18 April 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a great reference book. But so as to not cause any confusion, this is NOT an instructional guide on how to draw and design cars. It is rather a reference guide filled with info and facts that you should keep in mind when designing cars. If you are looking for a book that has step by step instructions on how to draw cars and perspective, this is not the book you are looking for. If you are already a car designer or a car design student, and want a handy and well thought out reference guide, this is the book for you.

A great all-round image of automotive design
8 Jun 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book could be named "automotive design 101": it obviously is a textbook from the Transportation Design undergraduate course at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.
It does lack some edge on the imagery (and must be corrected with updated EC regulations), but does provide an invaluable insight on the automotive design industry.
This is definitely a "how did I live without it" item, and every designer should have it on their bookshelf!

The life buoy

Format:Paperback
I'm a graphic and industrail designer in Hong Kong
thank you art center, there is lack of information about car design in the world
the book data is extreme professional
if the book include a DVD of digital H point data and image, it must be much better, I don't mind to pay more
i hope car design 101 will be released soon, I',m looking forward
