EDITORIAL CONTENT

For the 2010 Showcase issue we are particularly interested in companies involved in the design of vehicles exhibited at the Geneva 2010 Motor Show.

A limited number of companies offering the more innovative and exciting design services or technologies will be invited to contribute a fully illustrated technical article or design case study. In the case of components or materials this would focus on a recently developed system, product or technology or in the case of a design studio perhaps a recently launched concept or design. These articles are usually 3-5 pages in length.

Up to 30 of these ar avilable in the Showcase issue however only 5 are available for the magazine issues. The magazines ( November, March and July ) also have our Design Focus pages with shorter editoral content - usually 100 words and an image.

Articles will be laid out and designed in the style of the publication, you will have an opportunity to approve articles before publication. Companies submitting articles should also supply an email contact for any readers wanting more information - this will provide an instant response and feedback mechanism.

Please note that any articles that are overly sales orientated or in the form of a corporate profile will not be included - our tip would be to get the design manager to write it, not the PR manager. As the content and distribution of The Vehicle Designers Review is focussed on vehicle design teams working on different types of vehicles we suggest articles reflect this in their use of possible applications, case studies and

images used.
