Me and Mo's new AUDI S4 Sketch



1st idea (from the top left)- audi s4 can go up to ??m/h in 5sec. it's really fast. that after 5sec, it's out of picture.

2nd- S4 saves gas. so trees and flowers are growing from the v6 engine.

3rd- S4, racing in the middle of the city. (got the idea from Audi's racing heritage)

4th- it's gonna be alot of photoshop. so Audi is running from beach, dirt, Snow, desert to red carpet.

5th- simply black background with a nice red s4 car. tag line is "evolved"

6th (bottom left) - S4 is so fast and incredible that it runs on the sea.

7th- 1/3 side shot of S4. the tag line is "new Era"

8th- 4 different shots of S4: snow on the mirror, Dirt on the back of the car, beach sand on tire.
and in the last image S4 is on red carpet. saying it's good for everything. and it really is.
9th- beautiful couple walking on red carpet. and the S4 behind them.

10th- the concept is also evolved. the S4 is running the street of uncivilized culture, 6os, 80s to current. kind of saying that Old ear to new era.







The new S4 is the "greenest" of its competitors thanks to Audi's race proven FSI technology that has won them 6 Le Manns championships in a row.
Audi has gone from a V8 back to forced induction with their new V6T which is supercharged and achieves 28mpg highway.
The new S4 has a new sport differential coupled with its legendary quattro all wheel drive system which is now rear-wheel biased for a sportier drive and feel.
The quattro all wheel drive system is all weather capable, and incredibly fun to utilize on twisty roads.They offer VW/Audi's Direct Shift gear-box which operates with dual clutches for incredible shifting speeds (not advertised) along with a standard manual transmission.
We also wanted to show that although the new S4 is race bred, that it is still incredibly elegant and understated.
Here are some more facts about Audi that a lot of people aren't aware of:*Audi = Latin translation of the founder's name, Horch.* 1934, first use of a mid-mounted engine with the helpof Dr. Ferdinand Porsche* 1937, first use of aluminum* 1993, first use of Aluminum Space Frame design in production* 1980, first use of Quattro, our revolutionary all-wheel drive system* 5,000,000 kilometers of testing before production* 9,621 patents, most ever by an auto company* 62 wins in 79 Le Mans Races, First ever by a diesel 06/18/2006, First using Bio-Diesel 2008* 2/3rd's of Audi concepts become a relaity* Audi sales versus Lexus 906,000 to 430,000 worldwide* 2000, Introduction of FSI thorugh racing.

History

Audi Ag, Known as Audi is a German automobile manufacturer that was founded in 1910s by Augus Hoch (his original name was Audiwerke Gmbh) Audi has been almost wholly owned by Volkswagen group since 1964. The tagline Is advancement through Technology. North American tagline is Innovation through technology.
In 1932, Audi merged with Horch, DKW, and Wwandere to form Auto Union. The Audi emblem is four overlapping rings that represent the four marguqes of Auto union. It symbolizes the amalgamation of Audi with DKW. The first ring represents Audi, The second represents DKW, the third is Horch, and the fourth is Wandrere.

The build up and onset of WWII encouraged the development and production of special vehicles for military purposes in the 1930s. The Auto Union became an important supplier of vehicles to Germany’s armed forces.
Modern Era of Audi: Volkswagen introduced the Audi brand to the U.S. for the 1970 model year. The first new car of this regime was the Audi 100. The Audi image at this time was conservative one
Currently Audi sales are growing strongly in Europe. Recently Audi has started offering a computerized control system for its cars called Multi Media Interface (MMI)

Audience:

target audience is very wide: family college students, company executives. However, our primary Audience will be executives. Business people who need to show off their cars to their surroundings.

Competitors are the Mercedes Benz and BMW.

Strategy: To attract primary Audience, we will tell people to replace Mercedes Benz/ BMW to take their luxuriousness to next step. Kind of like the latest Audi commercial: Replacing old house/Benz to new house and Audi. lol

Reference Board: Audi has rally heritage so we will incorporate that into their luxury look. EX: dirt road that leads into the city.

Designer wanted! Who wants to get Free Meal and SAKE??!!

WEBSITE: http://www.roninizakaya.com/

Okay...
My boss(es) are looking for designer who can redesign this really really bad website. lol
I wish I could do it but I'm already making two sites, and i dont have time,
so I decided to ask designers in CSUN!!
you won't get paid. (maybe you can negotiate), but you'll get gift certificate from this restaurant.
and maybe I'll be your server. lol
and maybe we'll have really nice sake together. oh no. i quit drinking. never mind.

If there are couple people who want to design then it could be like a competition too.
(I think that would be fun)

There are three owners and they all have different taste : )
so if you are desining then you gonna have to deal with three owners.
Dont worry they are really nice.
(one of them used to be a graphic designer too)
so, I guess it's good practice to learn about how to deal with client.

More Info:

It has to be Flash.
if you don't know Flash that's fine. I can work as a team too.
You do the design and I'll do flash.

About this restaurant.

this is french mixed Japanese fusion Restaurant.
The restaurant was opened 8 month ago, so it's really new.
it's just couple blocks away from Beverly Center.
and name of the restaurant is Ronin Izakaya Bistro.

Ronin: samurai that has no master.
Izakaya: dining where people can enjoy food and sakes.

Concept of the restaurant:

the chef (one of the boss) used to be a french chef at hotel, so he wanted to create a restaurant that has no rule. (like ronin)
(for example, there's no wine glass. only cups.)

the restaurant has friendly cozy atmosphere.
and yes, casual. really casual. no dress code.
There is a projector, and we play samurai movie (black and white) on the wall.
also there are a lot of samurai sword on the counter.
but because we are bistro we play jazz/spanish/music. (no Japanese music at all)

customers are mostly white and asians (chinese and korean), but few japanese.
age range: college students to old people. mostly over 21 years old to 30, 40 years old.
it's good for dates and party.




Food:
Tapas. and yes french mixed. no SUSHI. but we have sashimi (cappacio)
we have really really nice wines, sakes, and japanese beers.
