Hasta La Ideas

Following our recent announcement of an ongoing partnership with the IDSA, we’d like to invite our readers to enter the “CAD” Rendering Challenge in anticipation of the IDSA Northeast District Conference in Hartford next month. They’ve partnered with GrabCAD, with sponsors Keyshot and BikeID providing prizes for the winners, for a design competition with a particularly vibrant brief, in keeping with the conference theme, “The Color of Design”:

Simply download any CAD model from the GrabCAD library—then develop it, re-arrange it, cut it, splice it, hack it… but most importantly implement color in a fresh and creative way.

Think about how color affects the design, improves the user experience and brings a 4th dimension to how an object, product, assembly or landscape is perceived. Use this challenge as an outlet for you and your design team to reimagine how we incorporate color into our creative process. Then submit your rendering to the Challenge in JPG format.

Our jury of leading industrial designers, engineers and graphic designers will evaluate and select the best and most creative submissions to be highlighted at the IDSA’s 2013 Northeast District Design Conference “The Color of Design” in April in Hartford.

Enter by the March 25 deadline for a chance to win prizes such as a custom ride from BikeID, complimentary conference registration, Keyshot licenses and more.
