For the past eighty years many consumer products have been designed by professional industrial designers.  An industrial designer’s job is to show the manufacturer how to make their product more appealing to the consumer.  Generally these talented artists keep pushing the engineering department to constantly improve the products we used every day, it’s a battle between left and right brains.   It is said if it were up to the industrial designer there would be picture windows on airplanes and if it were up to the structural engineer there would be no windows at all.

There are many ways to interpret a consumer product subject such as an automobile; one is viewing it through the spectrum of simplicity and pure graphics, capturing the designer’s intent.  This photographer has distilled this subject down to color and line much as an industrial designer would.   He has picked out one simple styling feature and created a composition that captures the essences of the design.  The balance between red and white is very important in this image.  The proportions remind me of a national flag or banner. 

The photo-artist has pulled off something that is generally not an acceptable graphic element.  The black line terminates right at the lower corner.  I think this works because the natural flow of the layout is in that direction and the upper left hand corner is left open.  There is one very small thing I would like to suggest to the photographer.  Under the edge of the chrome there appears to be a flaw in the paint, this could just be a reflection, but a view may see it as a defect, particularly when the subject is magnified this much.  This could be cloned out with two clicks.
