C-demon, you’re totally right. Taking that idea further, a lot of design gets press and sales when someone who really knows the subject could tear it up. Its the novelty factor and the power of an image.
The competition WAS sponsored by an engineer/designer though - a really rich one - and this submission was from a student at a college that I thought had a solid engineering basis - Stanford.
I’m probably just sour grapes, in the end. My mama raised me to not be full of it, and I’m envious of those who can win design competitions in that manner.
