Abstract: | |||||
This research examined the significance of automotive facade particularly car facade
and its relationship to design, image and identity. This research is based on the
assumption that the car exterior design delivers both, product character and messages
which influence the consumer perceptions. The car fayade normally reflects the
company image and identity, the profile (side) section shows the functions either
saloon, convertible or estate, while the rear section usually becomes a follower to be
incorporated within the overall design. To make a comparison to humans, a car fayade resembles the face where normally the
reflections on personality, character and expression ofthe person are experienced. The
test revealed a relationship between car fayade and human face that in tum suggested
that both are operated within the context of common themes and manners.
Interpretation of the research findings also contextualised the anthropomorphic and
zoomorphic references in car fayades.
