Welcome to PalethorpeDesign
About me
I am an enthusiastic and creative young designer. I have recently finished University and achieved a 2.1 BA (Hons) Transport Design and i am now seeking work, permanent, temporary or freelance. Although my qualification is in automotive design, i have experience in product design, web design and graphics design, i have even dabbled in fashion design. I am happy to work on any project as long as it allows me to be creative and display my imagination through design.
I have created this website as part of my portfolio, i will update it as frequently as possible. feel free to contact me via the contact tab, i will get back to you quickly.
Thanks,

RECENT WORK/NEWS:
Finished University. BA (Hons) Transport Design achieved!
I scored a high mark on my major project, the Scania Concept. It is the piece of work i am most proud of (to date), please check it out and see what you think. I am going to be updating it with better images and pictures from my design show.
Scania Concept
Major Project Progress.
Well into my major project at University now, so heres a small teaser of what im working on. The concept is a long distance overnight truck cab. The brief takes into account how the proposal may sit on existing chasis configurations. Im aiming for practical solutions for the interior space and generally making life easier for the driver. Also taking into account aerodynamic factors, and tackling the threatening appearance, safety and improving economy of the vehicles. For more info/pictures and sketches click the picture or see 'current project' page.
Minor Project - Future electric urban vehicle
Minor project completed for university. In brief this concept is a proposal for a future city vehicle. I designed it to be minimalist and the project statement i chose to design from was an interesting quote i stumpled upon. I designed this vehicle to be different from any other city vehicle i have seen. Click the picture for the project (or navigate to the project via university projects- future city vehicle) for research, sketchwork, final design and features.
