These various concepts all fall within the method I propose. By superimposing various systems of lines, such as curved radiating lines, lateral parallel lines and more like the straight vertical at the rear of these three lateral vents, you form a greater structure system which can quickly be used to recognize, define and consider various options.
Think of outlining the blocks on graph paper to create a form. With practice, you'll find you quickly perceive such parameters without specifically drawing all of them to provide guidance for freehand work. Some of these renderings look better to me than others, but what I like isn't the point. One of my Masters would succinctly correct work methods as right or wrong but rarely ever offer his judgment of work quality as good or bad. He said it wasn't his place to judge my art. That was the customer's job. Problem is, when you are your own customer, it can be nearly impossible to satisfy the patron. Someday I'll have to learn photoshop stuff.... great thread.

One nice thing about this project is Kerry no longer needs to actually Photoshop things. A bit of silver air duct tape and a big black (blue / red) marker pen and he can draw directly upon the canvas itself to illustrate ideas for various vents, trim, etc. (and easy cleanup) Biggest perk is one can then walk around the vehicle and view at different angles to see if the visual artwork idea works. Tough to do it in Photoshop.

Kerry,
How about putting tapered horizontal bars across the original opening. The bars would look like Art Deco streaks. Hope you get the idea. Mike |

I like Superleggera's horizontal vents best. Gives a sleeker look.
Cheers Happy New Year.

Just to add to the confusion, I like what you already have the best. It would certainly be the easiest approach. Pull the door down turn off the lights, its done.

[QUOTE=Steve Hamilton;131958]I like the last idea better than than the reverse, I might try 3 or 4 instead of 2 openings. Same air volume but less bold.
Since the wheels have the criss cross wire design, would that pattern look good in the side openings and the grille? What do you think of multiple side louvers but horizontal with the decreasing length ? I like this idea, of horizontal openings, but the size that Mark posted look too large to me. If they were more like a louver so that the opening (black area) was smaller and less bold. A horizontal trim strip through the middle and extending beyond each end.

If there was a panel behind the large openings, that might look OK, but if you can look thru the louvers and see motor compartment 'features', there might need to be some screen or something behind it. That makes the smaller openings a little more sensible.
Kerry - are you glad yet that you asked for opinions
