Bernie Walsh - Wacom Lab success

Concept sketching by industrial design students in the RMIT wacom lab has proven to be highly successful with graduates and undergraduates attaining industry positions with GM Holden. Bernie Walsh is to be congratulated for the success of this facility in providing the high quality outcomes acknowledged by industry. It is also a credit to Bernie that past students, Ryan Fonceca and Glen Tay, are supporting current students by attending evening elective classes and sharing their industry skills. Ryan was successful earlier this year being recruited by GM as a designer in the advanced design studio. Glen Tay is currently an intern with GM Holden, also in the advanced design studio.

Ryan Fonceca - RMIT Graduate Employment

Ryan Fonceca began his professional career today as an automotive designer joining the advanced design studio at GM Holden. Congratulations Ryan.

The communications course at RMIT industrial design has responded to industry expectations of graduate attributes with the establishment of the Wacom Lab and a greater emphasis on sketching and visualisation skills which greatly assisted Ryan during the selection process for the position at Holden. Lecturer Bernie Walsh provides students interested in a career in automotive design with expert tuition in the practice of vehicle design and most importantly encourages creativity. Bernie is an alumnus of the industrial design program at RMIT University and began his career like Ryan at the GM Holden studios in Fisherman's Bend.

RMIT lecturer Bernie Walsh provides expert advice and feedback to Ryan during his studies at RMIT industrial design. Ryan is one of many automotive designers who Bernie has mentored over the years.

GM Holden Head of Design Tony Stolfo examines Ryan's final year project at the RMIT industrial design graduate exhibition with Communications Coordinator Ian Wong. Ryan was a GM Holden CO-OP student spending one entire year at GM during his studies at RMIT University. 

Ryan's final year single person transport transport project supervised by Bernie Walsh and Ian Wong was supported by industry partners Delineate and Autodesk.

Segway - Single Person Transport

Research can be a lot of fun!

The Segway single person transport vehicles are finding many applications including during the drinks breaks in our cricket. I could not pass the opportunity to test drive one whilst in New Zealand recently.

Technology like this is the platform for concept vehicles like Ryan Fonceca's RMIT industrial design project in my studio in 2011 and the Holden designed EN-V.

Phillip Zmood - Industrial Design Graduate Exhibition 2011

RMIT industrial design alumnus Phillip Zmood visited the industrial design graduates exhibition today. Whilst studying industrial design at RMIT in the early 1960's Phillip won first prize in an international design competition for his concept car the Gannet 1000. He was awarded the John Storey Junior Scholarship and was also the recipient of the Die Casters Award. After graduating he started working at GM Holden in Melbourne in 1965 as a staff designer. He was promoted to assistant chief designer in 1966 and made significant contributions to the HQ sedan, wagon and coupe (Monaro), and was chief designer of the Torana studio from 1969 until 1978. After working in Germany at Opel as chief designer, Mr Zmood returned to Melbourne and, in 1983, was appointed as the first Australian Director of Design at GM Holden. Phillip is also a Hall of Fame member of the Design Institute of Australia.

Phillip showed particular interest in the work of Ryan Fonceca and his Single Person Transport vehicle that was supervised by RMIT lecturer Bernie Walsh. Phillip and Bernie worked together at Holden in the 1980s. Phillip encouraged Ryan to promote his concept for urban vehicles and congratulated him on his project outcomes.
