Motolog: MCB Prize - Revival

Yeah that is a revival... the Motolog was my Bachelor's Thesis project in Brazil, 2006, done by me and Rafael Moreno, my project partner. It was a motorcycle especially designed for express delivery services - pioneer proposal. This project got some awards as iF Hannover Concept Award, 20º MCB Awards (Museu da Casa Brasileira) and the first Winner of ADP Young Designers Brazil (ADP Jovens Designers).

FIAT Pulse: Inspiration

Picture from Havaianas website

Simple to make. Open. Fresh. Rubbered easy to clean and keep the finish if damaged. Flexible. Lightweight. Easy to wear. Affordable. These are some aspects of the Havaianas, a typical Brazilian flip flops. And this is also my inspiration for the FIAT Pulse, since first ideation sketches for interior and exterior until color&trims basic study. Focusing in a timeless simple piece of design to a car.

FIAT Pulse: Video Animation

Hi everyone. After the presentation video from MyMotion, above is the Pulse's one. Thanks for come.

FIAT Pulse: Exterior Sketches

Here are some sketchwork during the design process of Pulse development. The next is the key sketch. It came before the interior because as I intended to design the whole vehicle, I felt the need to get the exterior first to restart the interior design and express quickly the package was defined previously.

FIAT Pulse: Exterior Design

Attractive shape for a compact daily use sport compact car: "Invite your girlfriend to surf on the beach, or hiking or mountain bike on the hills. Make curves together. Enjoy the life and the car. Feel the Pulse, feel the pleasure on free times. Place your bags in the front. The bicycles in the back. Open roof and enjoy."

FIAT Pulse: Interior Sketches

Hi everyone. Here are a couple of simple sketches I did during the project that were my interior design reference, in mixed techniques.

FIAT Pulse: The Interior

The interior was the core of my project. Actually I've got the crazy idea to make an interior and exterior complete design project to my thesis work. Crazy because make a complete car, from concept to sketches, tapes, package, strategy, virtual complete model, refinement and presentations in 14 weeks... wasn't easy at all. But I got fun.

FIAT Pulse: Weekend Car

Hi everyone. A weekend car for LatinAmerica in 2022. This is my Master Thesis Project at Pforzheim University, sponsored by FIAT. Differently of my last two main projects in school, where i taught about a more futuristic look for 2030 with the MyMotion and also a non car-like sled for Black Forest in Germany with the IO Insideout.

Media: 4Rodas Magazine - Next 50 years car design

Hi everyone.
Here is a scan that a friend of mine sent from Brazil. The 4Rodas Magazine was completing 50 years old, and in a special edition included an issue about "The Next 50 Years" of car design, where some designers and studios were invited to show how could be the cars on these next 5 decades. My project MyMotion for Mercedes-Benz Germany was included illustrating the report. Thanks to Vitor from BRoba for invite me to participate.

See you all. Thanks for come.

FIAT Pulse: Thesis Teaser

Hi everyone.
Yes, it was a long time since my last blog update. The reason of being absent is on this picture. My Pforzheim Thesis project preview. It is a teaser, more to come after the Pforzheim Degree Show Summer 2010, July, 16 and 17th at CCP Congress Centrum Pforzheim. Who goes?

Thank you all.

Insideout: Video Animation

This is simple video animation of Insideout project (fun sled) that I used to present to at Design Show at Pforzheim. It is also shown in Cardesignnews.com No soundtrack available. Soon I will launch a "official" video, but this primarly can help you to understand the form and functions of Insideout. Thanks.

Pforzheim University: Winter Show 2010/Press Video

This the press covering video made here in Germany about the Winter Design Degree Show 2010 at Pforzheim University. My project isn't there cause it was not a Degree one... but the video is nice. Thank you.

Pforzheim University: Winter Show 2010

I want invite you to visit the Cardesignnews.com covering the Pforzheim University Winter Show 2010, that was last February. I hope you enjoy it.

Pforzheim University: Summer Show 2009

I invite you to take a look at the Pforzheim University Summer Show 2009 covering from Cardesignnews.com website. It was my first semester and you can see other projects and understand a bit more of what happened that semester.

Thank you all.

Insideout: PS main sketches

Hallo wie geht's?

These are some photoshop sketches made for Insideout Project just before going to tape drawing and 3d model. The story of that are lots of drama in the seat shape, but is exactly the case that in 3d model was looking not so comfortable or a "invitation to stay" in its interior - and I consider it a lot designing interiors.
This kind of change in the process is what makes me love more what I am doing: shape evolution.

Thanks for coming.

Insideout: What's that?

Hi everyone, thanks for visiting.
From this post I will start to show a bit of my second semester project at Pforzheim University, as part of the Master in Transportation Design course. Based in a timeline telling a design story and in the end the video/animation that still in process to media.

Off project: Scooter in Sketchbook

This is a sketchbook pro + wacom sketch. I'm still practicing digital illustration without masks use. Thanks.

Sketch Memories: VW Flamingo

Revival session... these sketches are from my beginning on car sketching. They are Volkswagen Flamingo that was finalist at Volkswagen Talento Design, October 2006 (a design challenge from VW in Brazil), was a very nice experience. Tks.
