The Theme
“Must change color front to back or side to side with a gradient”
The Gradient
My first idea of this theme:
Wasn’t this the title of an ancient late 1960ies movie with young Dustin Hoffmann driving a red Alfa Romeo Spider 1600 Duetto?
Just joking. I just love Italian automobiles and bikes.
Looking for an inspiration for a unique gradient my research ended in the
world of animals. Finally in the sea with the natural design of the
mackerel.
The Vehicle
Which car can I choose to put a mackerel skin on? Which one would the fishy design match most perfectly? After a while I found the
Radical SR3 SL 2011 due to its fishy facial expression and the fin-style roll bar. Painted in silver it would offer a perfect canvas for my idea mimicking a fish.
The Sponsor
Simply putting a mackerel design on a car would not be the perfect entry without the matching sponsor.
So: Who’s first in seafood in Northern Germany where I’m from?
GOSCH from Sylt. Having started as a small fish fast-food at the most Northern German location (Isle of Sylt), the company nowadays is big in franchise all over the nation.
GOSCH is well-known for freshly caught fish:

GOSCH is offering smoked&grilled fish:

The Result: The Radical Mackerel
This is my personal interpretation of a color changing gradient from silver to gold, illustrating the color change/morph of a freshly caught fish into a tasty smoked/grilled food. The car might be an eye-catcher at a trackday event making promo for GOSCH catering service.
Hope you like it.
