Inspiration behind vis-com project: the designer speaks.


Todays design on planes are too dull and without life. Every plane looks the same coming into airports and going out, doesn't anyone want to look through an airport window and say, "wow look at that airplane", or that "plane looks funny"? That way the airline company Qatar would have an new design that brings out the planes' personality and are comical and pleasing to the peoples eyes, people in the airport that are flying on competitors would envy not fly in a "camel" or something that gives life to the airplane.
Qatar airways, is a 5 star airline company, but its designs and colour look like it was designed at a funeral; dark maroon and grey, looking at the airline would be just depressing. The new designs coming out, everyone not only at the airport but in the sky would be looking twice to see what airline is it, but some first class passengers would actually mind that change but, we have more designs that are more elegant and not that much of a comical standard, but it gives the first class standard they are expecting. The Arab theme would be good since its symmetric and very elegant. Some of the main comical designs I came up with was a camel, ethic dresses on the plane, a stampede of horses or camels along the side of the belly of the plane. Designs from the movie Soul plane could be used, like that scene when they were about to take off on the run way with the plane full of black people, had rims on the plane, painted purple with a decal on the side saying "Soulplane", the pilot was Snoop.Dg and they had bling on the wing, in the very same scene the plane from Texas, had a bull horns on the front in response to the soul plane they rolled up the window, which is not possible, but the comical relief is there.
Each airline should be different enough to distinguish where it originates from, and its background. Each airline company should look different, so that it gives life to the airport its arriving in and a better competition for competitors, because with unique deigns people would be able to pick out which airline it is, and where they come from or where its going. Let's just say a plane is flying from Qatar to Melbourne, wouldn't it look funny if a camels head was painted at the front of the plane with its tongue sticking out when they arrive in Melbourne, and through the glass window you could see the camels head looking at you.
