How to draw a car

Design for life

So how did Wayne find such a plum job? “A lot of hard graft,” he says. “After a foundation course at my sixth form college, I did the undergraduate transportation design course at Coventry University. I first worked for LTI, maker of the London taxi, then a host of car companies, before landing a job with Jaguar in 1998.”

Wayne explained what he looks for in an aspiring designer. “First and foremost is the natural ability to draw. You need a remarkable level of accuracy. Secondly, you have to be bursting with ideas.” If you possess these two talents already, Wayne advises. “Get yourself on a transport design course at university and commit to it fully.”

And if you’re lucky enough to succeed in the world of car design, there’s lots to look forward to: “Launching the car you have spent five years pouring your heart and soul into is a fantastic feeling.”
