Ian Callum, the Dumfries-born designer behind some of the world's most acclaimed super-cars, will be in Dundee next week to give a talk about his career in the motor industry.
Callum is design director for Jaguar, whose new F-type has been hailed as a modern classic. He has also worked for Ford, TWR and Aston Martin.
His lecture, A Life Of Design, on Tuesday at the University of Dundee, is the second in a series of joint events hosted by Design in Action - the Arts and Humanities Research Council knowledge-exchange hub based at the university - along with the V&A at Dundee.
Philip Long, director of the V&A at Dundee said: "Ian Callum has successfully used his design ethos to change the image of some of the best-known car manufacturers in the world through the cars he has delivered for them, winning scores of awards.
"His work is an outstanding example of the fundamental importance of good design to business success.
"This is a fantastic opportunity to hear from a remarkable character"
Tickets to hear A Life Of Design, taking place on October 22 at 6pm at the university's Dalhousie Building, are free.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
