THOMAS C. GALE
FOUNDING CHAIRMAN
EyesOn Design Awards at the NAIAS
RETIRED CHRYSLER HEAD OF DESIGN AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT CHIEF
Currently President of TC Gale Consulting and Design, Thomas Gale joined

WELCOME LETTER
Welcome to EyesOn Design Awards at the North American International Auto
Show, 2010. The awards will go to the finest examples of design among
Concept and Production Vehicles introduced in Detroit.
The prestige of the awards and the value placed on them by the press and
the auto manufacturers is directly related to the credentials and prestige of the
Judging Panel. For this reason we invite the Global Design Leaders of major
automobile companies. In the absence of that leader, we invite the Design Leader
of North American operations. Included are the leaders of Transportation Design
of major design schools around the globe and Design Leaders of important and
successful independent Design Studios. We also include several retired global
design leaders.
This strategy has been successful, and in less than a decade the EyesOn Design
Awards have achieved remarkable status in the automotive community.
The three Chief Judges appointed this year are “role models” in the design
world. They have been influential and significant international contributors to
the design profession and their employers. We thank William G. Davidson,
Tom Matano, and Jack Telnack for serving as our program leaders.
When I was asked to organize the 2006 awards and program, I agreed for a
variety of reasons:
• The Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology has an enviable twenty-year history
with design awards at its summer event, EyesOn Design at the Edsel &
Eleanor Ford House, Grosse Pointe
• In its history, the judges of the summer event EyesOn Design Automotive
Design Exhibition have been automotive designers, and the panel did not
reflect or include “political” or socio-economic influences
• The motto – “Focused” so others might see – of the Detroit Institute of
Ophthalmology, is one I have long held in the highest respect
The world of automotive journalism, design history, and our profession are
already accepting these awards as a significant achievement in a world that
may not always recognize the contribution that design lends to the business
discipline. We strive to recognize beauty that consumers can distinguish and
enjoy. As our very first EyesOn Design Lifetime Achievement Award winner,
Gordon Buehrig, once said, “Automobile design is Rolling Sculpture.” We hope
you will agree that the selections of our judges reflect this apt description.
Enjoy! We are proud to have had you in attendance.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Welcome to the fifth EyesOn Design Awards at the
North American International Auto Show (NAIAS).
These awards are becoming the most prestigious
awards for Design Excellence in international
vehicle design. In January 2006, the Founding
Chairman of the event, Thomas Gale, set out to
assemble a panel of design executives whose
choice would be viewed as totally unbiased. A
review of this year’s panel of judges illustrates
how effective he has been in this quest. The judges
assembled combine the talents of OEM design
leaders, Heads of Design at Independent Design
Studios, retirees from several of the world’s most
successful automotive manufacturers, and academic transportation design
leaders.
For EyesOn Design at NAIAS 2010, Mr Gale has selected a triumvirate of
“the best of the very best” to help him carry out his mission. He has chosen
these Chief Judges, Willie G. Davidson of Harley-Davidson, Tom Matano,
Academy of Art University, and Jack Telnack, retired head of Ford Motor
Company Design to continue to upgrade these awards and this Automotive
Design Event to unprecedented levels.
As Chairman of this event I welcome you to EyesOn Design at the NAIAS. I
would like to recognize the three Chief Judges, Design Executives, Docents,
volunteers and the DIO Staff who have made this event possible. We
express our thanks, as well, to the DADA and the NAIAS staff for their help
in accomplishing our goals.
Special appreciation goes out to our EyesOn Design Awards Sponsor,
Dassault Systemes who has been with us for the past 5 years. We also thank
our luncheon sponsors, Magna International and Michelin for their support.
We will have an afterglow, FocusOn Design Media Event, sponsored by
BASF and KPMG immediately following the Awards ceremony to allow
media exclusive access to the design executives.
Enjoy, then, these visions of automotive beauty. Keep in mind that without
the gift of sight you would not be able to fully appreciate the magnificence
of Automotive Design.

MASTER OF CEREMONIES
JOHN McElroy
EyesOn Design Awards at the NAIAS 2010
HOST, AUTOLINE DETROIT
John McElroy is the host of the television program
“Autoline Detroit,” which covers all aspects of
the automotive industry. It is a weekly half-hour
discussion program featuring top automotive
executives and journalists that provides a window
into the latest developments and thinking in the
industry. It airs nationally on Sunday mornings at

spots that provide listeners with news and analysis on the automotive
industry.
John McElroy brings an extensive background to covering the auto industry.
He took his first plant tour when he was only six years old. As he got older,
he read any and every book about cars he could get his hands on, which led
to an understanding of automotive engineering principles. As his enthusiasm
for cars grew, he successfully—though briefly—ventured into amateur road
racing. He also gained valuable insight to the industry working as an hourly
UAW employee in various automotive manufacturing plants while working
his way through college, where he earned a Bachelor’s Degree in English
at Wayne State University.
McElroy has won numerous awards for editorial excellence, particularly the
Jesse H. Neal award in 1984 for his series titled, “Inside Japan,” and in
1995 and 1997 for his Editorial opinion pieces. In 1997 he was named
“Communicator of the Year” by the Sales and Marketing Executives of
Detroit. He was awarded first place in the International Wheels Awards
in 2004 for his television documentary “The Woodward Avenue Dream
Cruise,” and in 2005 for his documentary “Challenge Bibendum,” and
second place in 2006 for “A Car Is Born.”

2010
CHIEF JUDGES
The three Chief Judges are selected by Tom Gale to
represent design from a broad perspective.
Their
backgrounds encompass the past, the present and the
future of transportation design. Tom’s vision is to have
active OEM design leaders, or recently retired design
leaders, and recognized academic leaders facilitate the
judging and awards process.
For the 2010 Awards Mr. Gale has chosen three easily
understood leaders: Willie G. Davidson of HarleyDavidson, Tom Matano of the Academy of Art University,
and Jack Telnack, former Vice President of Design Ford
Motor Company.
With these three internationally renowned leaders, the
judging process is assured to be fair, and the credibility
and importance of the award winning vehicle designs is
easily recognized by the automotive design community.

interpretation of what has become the new design language for the Mazda
brand. These two initial concepts led to the development of the Ryuga,
Hakaze and Taiki As well as the Kazemai - the latest concept unveiled in
Moscow. Franz also led design of the Mazda RX-8, Tribute, and Mazda5
production vehicle facelifts, and was instrumental in the design development
of the 2009 Mazda6 and Mazda3.
Before spearheading design at Mazda, Franz held the Design Director
position at General Motors. The Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, and Opel
GT are all examples of Franz’s efforts at GM. Franz began his career as
Assistant Chief Designer at Volkswagen, where he was involved in projects
from Concept One to the Microbus.
When not immersed in design, architecture, and fashion, Franz enjoys
sailing, cycling, and snowboarding. Franz also revels in driving one of the
cars in his modest collection, which ranges from American muscle to Italian
finesse.
Franz began his studies at Syracuse University in the field of industrial

DOCENTS
At the very finest museums, and often at the most important
exhibits, docents act as combined tour directors, educators,
guides, and experts to be sure that all the highlights are
appreciated by visitors or attendees. To act in this capacity
each of the docents must be knowledgeable not only of the
exhibit layout but of the subject as well. For this reason, Tom
Gale and our organizing committee, headed by John Teodecki,
has each year selected senior automotive designers to act as
docents for EyesOn Design at the North American International
Auto Show.
For 2010, Tom Gale has asked his long-time colleague from
Chrysler Design, Gerry Piaskowski, to lead the docent process.
His many years as an active designer gives him the credentials
to help make the difficult decisions on the floor. He also will
make sure the docents understand the importance of their
assignment and the format for their work.
The docent’s job is to lead each of the several groups of
designer judges around the exhibits and to be certain that
each concept or production vehicle introduced here in Detroit
is given full attention. They must discretely usher the judges
through the displays and back into the discussion room in tine
for a full discourse on which vehicles will finally emerge as the
EyesOn Design at the North American International Auto Show
winners. While being selected as a docent is considered a
high honor, it is obviously not without challenges.

ABOUT THE CRYSTAL AWARDS
The EyesOn Design at the NAIAS awards are unique to this event. They were
designed by Steven Correia of Santa Monica, California with consultation
and oversight by Tom Gale specifically for EyesOn Design at the NAIAS.
Mr. Correia also designed the coveted awards that the Detroit Institute of
Ophthalmology presents at the EyesOn Design Automotive Design Show.
This highly prestigious international celebration of vehicle design of the
past, present and future, is held annually in June at the Edsel & Eleanor
Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan.
The awards, fittingly, are of optical crystal of great purity with a very high
index of refraction. Like the eye itself, these awards transmit and refract
light spectacularly.
The Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology has featured crystal awards in
automotive design at the summer show for almost twenty years in an effort
to immortalize the connection between vision and the appreciation of the
beauty of fine vehicle design.

Why does an
eye institute
present awards?
Why does an eye institute present design awards at the North American
International Auto Show? No, we don’t teach vehicle design at the Detroit
Institute of Ophthalmology (DIO), but we do appreciate design. And it is
only with good vision that any of us fully appreciate the beauty of the very
best in design. The DIO takes part in the event to raise money to support our
mission and our goals.
One of our mission initiatives is to foster research relative to the relationship
between vision and the safe operation of a motorized vehicle. To explore
this relationship as a research project, the DIO biennially produces a
research congress we call The Eye and The Auto. This congress took place
on September 16 –18, 2009 and was held at the General Motors Research
and Development Auditorium at the GM Technical Center. It was open to the
public, to the auto-industry, to our medical colleagues and to the press.
For the sixth time, entirely at the expense of the DIO, we brought 35 of the
world’s leading authorities to Detroit to discuss progress being made, worldwide, to reduce the carnage on the streets and highways of the world. In the
United States alone these deaths are a public health problem of immense
proportions. At its height, U.S. deaths in the Iraq war totaled almost 800
per year. That conflict would have to go on for 50 years at that rate to equal
the 40,000 Americans who die each year on our highways.
In September 2010 the DIO will again host over 30 of the world’s leading
44
2010
scientists at The Eye and The Chip. This congress is dedicated to fostering
collegiality among scientists to encourage collaborations among countries,
laboratories, and corporations involved in the research of implanting a chip
in the brain or the eye to facilitate the blind being able to regain some level
of useful vision. The Eye and The Chip 2010 will be held at Henry Ford
Community College in Dearborn, MI.
By supporting EyesOn Design either at the NAIAS or at the June Show at the
Edsel & Eleanor Ford House, each of you play a very real role in our efforts
to move forward the day when many persons now blind recover some level
of useful vision.
We are deeply grateful to the auto design world for its constant support of
the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology and our many programs relating to
education and research in the field of ophthalmology and in support of the
blind and visually impaired.

President, Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology

EyesOn Design celebrates 23 years recognizing major design achievements
in the automotive industry while raising money for the Detroit Institute of
Ophthalmology. EyesOn Design Automotive Design Show will be held on
June 20, 2010 at the Edsel & Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores,
Michigan. This show and its auxiliary events has become one of the leading
events in the world celebrating automotive design. It is an international
celebration of the finest vehicle design of the past, the present and the
future.
The theme for this year’s Automotive Design Show will be The Evolution of
an Automobile Design.
The automotive design process has evolved from the mechanical blue prints
of the 1920s and ‘30s, to the design masters of the ‘40s & ‘50s, to modern
day utilization of all art forms including computer-aided design. But through
all of these technological changes, the eye of the designer has the greatest
influence on the ultimate design of automobiles. Our summer show and
auxiliary events will reflect the art of the automobile designer.
We invite each of you to participate in this wonderful celebration of design
we call EyesOn Design. We are all pleased that this passion for beautifully
designed vehicles can translate into help for others less fortunate. Thank
you for supporting the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology through your
attendance at the Summer EyesOn Design events.
Sincerely,
Bernadette M. Lussier

The detroit institute of
ophthalmology
THE DETROIT INSTITUTE OF OPHTHALMOLOGY (DIO)
The Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation
founded in 1972 and located in Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan. We are
proud to serve the visually impaired community in Wayne, Macomb, and
Oakland Counties.
MISSION:
To move forward the day when blind people recover some level of vision,
and function independently.
MAJOR GOALS:
• To be the leader in accelerating international collaboration in visionrelated research
• To be the leader in helping the visually impaired maintain independence
and dignity, as they live a satisfying and productive life
RESEARCH:
Each year the DIO hosts an international congress on one of two major
research initiatives.
The Eye and The Chip: An international research forum on the wedding
of nano-electronics and neuro-biology that will some day provide artificial
vision (through a “bionic eye”) to many persons now blind. Such devices
will be of critical importance to those blind with Retinitis Pigmentosa, and
Macular Degeneration – the leading cause of legal blindness – in persons
over age 60. The Eye and The Chip will be held in September 2010.
The Eye and The Auto: A research forum on the relationship between
vision and the safe operation of motorized vehicles. This international
congress addresses advances in automotive technology and how they relate
to those with normal vision and the visually challenged. The Eye and The
Auto was held in September 2009.
Each congress assembles over 30 of the world’s leading authorities on
the research discipline. By facilitating collegiality, DIO has shown that
collaboration can be accomplished. Results from The Eye and The Chip will
continued on next page –>

2010
THE DETROIT INSTITUTE OF OPHTHALMOLOGY continued
move forward the day when many persons now blind recover some level of
useful vision – and on alternate years results from the The Eye and The Auto
will help reduce the number of highway deaths.
SUPPORT FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED:
The DIO has managed support groups since 1984. Helped by its volunteer
arm, Friends of Vision, the DIO currently facilitates four groups with over
150 members. Three groups meet at the DIO; the fourth group meets in St.
Clair Shores, Michigan.
The Martha F. Gorey Resource Center Shop, located in the DIO building
houses a wide variety of low vision aids. These items help to enhance every
day living, thus providing greater independence for the visually impaired.
PUBLIC & PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION:
Public – DIO’s written materials on program services and information on vision
loss are distributed to physicians’ offices, local libraries and at community
events. Through a grant from the AT&T Foundation, DIO has been able to
design and equip a classroom for computer training for visually impaired.
The AT&T Computer Training Lab for the Visually Impaired welcomed its
first students in spring 2009.
Professional – DIO has a proprietary school license with the State of Michigan.
DIO holds seminars for emergency physicians, and offers space for lectures
to the ophthalmology residents of the Henry Ford Health System.
