Need painting and lenses are being treated by a special process which will make them much more clear (like glass) then tinting film is being applied. Will post pics once finished.. Ignore the red tape holding the lens in place..

I have a bachelor's in mechanical engineering but I want a career in design because I want a career in creative and artistic field where I can use my creativity and imagination. Engineering study was fun but I don't like the job in factories and all plus I didn't graduate from a prestigious college.

Now I am interested in transportation design and industrial design but I have heard that jobs in transportation design are very less as compared to ID. So, I was thinking about a masters in industrial design.

Now comes the sketching part. I have attached some of my transportation design sketches as I haven't scanned my industrial design sketches yet. They would give you an idea of my sketching skills which are not too good to be honest but are okay I guess.

So, all I am worried is am I doing right thing to go for a master design course???  Yes, I have the creativity, skills required to become a designer but still I wonder If doing a master course would help me. I wonder what if don't get a job after that which is my biggest concern.

What do you guys think??? any guidance is appreciated.

Also,  please tell me some good schools for masters in industrial design which are not too expensive as I highly doubt considering myself for a scholarship because my ID portfolio isn't that strong because of no past experience but I can learn and learn pretty fast.

I have invented and designed

ANAND OSCILLATION MECHANISM (new basic mechanism in mechanical engineering)
It is world's first mechanism to convert each rotation to multiple oscillation or reciprocation

INVENTION DETAILS:

INVENTOR: ANAND M.S, INDIA PATENT APPLICATION NO: 1005/CHE/2003, INVENTION DATE: 11/12/2003

VIEW THE ORIGINAL PATENT APPLICATION DETAILS HERE

the above shown video is a basic design of the invention. actually i have also developed improved version of the "anand oscillation mechanism" which has friction free pins freely inserted within the slots. these pins are also connected to springs. watch the pics here.    

now the new improvement in the invention will avoid power consumption, sound and jerk. now all of you can use this invention as an alternative for all the existing mechanisms.

The house forms part of the Chinese International Practical Exhibition of Architecture (CIPEA) programme, which was first conceived back in 2003 as a showcase of modern architecture featuring 11 buildings by Chinese studios and 13 more by architects from abroad. A total of 20 houses are planned for the site in Laoshan National Forest Park, as well as an art museum by Steven Holl, a conference centre by Arata Isozaki, a hotel by Liu Jiakun and a leisure centre by the late Ettore Sottsass.

For his contribution, Zhang Lei of AZL Architects designed a four-storey house with layered concrete walls, intended to resemble the curling forms of traditional Chinese scrolls. Each opening provides a wide aperture, framing views of the surrounding woodland from balconies that wrap the perimeter.

“The concept of Blockhouse is almost the living attitude of many Chinese; a minimal opening to the surrounding landscape is the only perforation of the richness inside the house,” say the architects.

Rooms are contained within a glass volume at the centre of the structure. A living and dining room occupies the ground floor, while the five bedrooms required by the brief are located upstairs along with bathrooms and a study.

The Aga Khan Award for architectural design recently announced its 2013 shortlist of nominees, with China’s Museum of Handcraft Paper in Yunnan province as the only East Asian country represented in the final top 20 candidates. We actually reported on the completion of this project in an architectural roundup earlier this year.

I wanted a way to gauge demand for new products before spending all the time to put together a Kicksarter campaign or develop a full-blown product, so we made a site that lets you upload projects and if people like them, they can give you their email address so that when and if you do launch it they can buy one.

You get a dashboard of everything you've uploaded and how many people have submitted emails so you can see what has highest demand.

It's full of a bunch of filler content right now, but I'd love to get your thoughts! http://prefundia.com/

I've not posted in a long time, been very busy with work. 

I have been working on 16 new products for my company and I hope to begin production after a few months. 

Check out the new products and let me know what you think. 

Also I have a new website. it will be updated quite frequently with blog articles about design process, products etc.

I recently launched my website to showcase some of my work. It's still a work in progress, there are a few known issues.

If you find a bit that is broken, it'd be great if you could post a screenshot (I'm fairly new at the whole coding thingy )
