CONTENTS

CONTENTS DESIGN can be an overused word. Too often inserted in its slightly longer ‘designer’ form in front of all manner of products or places by the over-eager to suggest nebulous extra sparkle, such notional ‘designer goods’ have become, in the wrong hands, mere marketing clichés. All things are designed after all. Just not all of them very well. This issue celebrates more considered design, from superb Jaguars which have always been known for their elegant forms to innovative and original architecture, life-improving products inspired by the natural world plus a travel report from arguably the world’s most exciting design-led city. To keep things balanced, this issue also offers technology stories on emissions reduction and the brand’s impending launch into the future-focused world of all-electric motor racing in Formula E. And no issue of J-Magazine would be complete without beautiful photography of the expanding Jaguar range in this edition with cars as artistic still life images in the studio, and also in dramatic motion. After all, testing the all-wheel drive range at speed illustrates that beauty alone is nothing without great function, in this case 18 characterful performance and capability. As always. 66 34 CONTRIBUTORS Greg Pajo splits his time between Austin, Texas and London, but is actually way more down to earth than that intro sounds. He takes photos for a host of clients and shot the stunning AWD story for J-Magazine in this issue. Given his hectic lifestyle the design he’d like invented soon would be a teleporting device or a gadget to keep his shirts free of wrinkles in transit Ben Barry knows a thing or two about driving and writing about performance cars for the likes of CAR and AutoWeek magazines, so was the perfect author for our demanding AWD story. The one gadget he’d like designed is a passport app for his smartphone, “so it would be one less thing to lose or get damaged on my work trips” Trent McMinn is an Australian decamped to London who takes portraits for Monocle, British Vogue and Wired Japan. For our lead story he captured the key designers and engineers that make Jaguar cars great. The one design he’d like to find is something that would “allow me to transport all my photography gear around town without breaking my back!” 6 j THE DESIGN ISSUE
