Muse

Muse is an experimental design project studying the musical perception of the human through three installation experiences which provide different ways to experience music. The first is purely sensational using thermo-active material, and the second display the decoded perception of musical spatiality. The last is a translation between music notation and visual forms. People are encouraged to interact with the installations and explore the music visually with their own perception. The main message is that designers should be aware of how perception affects them in practice.

Fck 2020

What is the purpose of the design? Be functional, beautiful, comfortable, stimulating. And, at times, liberating. Fck 2020 is a self-promotional calendar that celebrates the arrival of 2021 by making fun of the damned 2020. Twelve months of colors, dreams, big and small desires enclosed in a limited edition design object. After a 2020 full of “less”, Fck 2020 Calendar it's a wish for a 2021 full of “more”, a talisman, an invitation to turn the page with a smile.

Cut and Paste

This project toolkit, Cut and Paste: Preventing Visual Plagiarism, addresses a topic that can affect everyone in the design industry and yet visual plagiarism is a topic that is seldom discussed. This could be due to the ambiguity between taking reference from an image and copying from it. Therefore, what this project proposes is to bring awareness to the grey areas surrounding visual plagiarism and position this at the forefront of conversations around creativity.

Madame Butterfly

The idea of the designer behind the opera posters was to create an iconic portrait of a singing/shouting woman, the main figure in opera plot, as a symbol of uncontrolled passion. The goal was to show the tragic and dependent role of a woman in libretto of such operas as Madame Butterfly, Tosca or Norma in the form of iconic and expressive interpretation. On all posters the composition represents the final scene - culmination moment of the opera story. Designer was inspired by the suprimatic posters of Kazimir Malevich and by the painting of Edvard Munch "The Scream".

Designers Brasileiros

The brand of the website Designers Brasileiros consists of a panel in the shape of the letter D composed by geometric pieces that fit together and represent the design specialties. These pieces are shapes extracted from the Brazilian flag and also form the letter B and a toucan. The toucan was defined by the fact that it is one of the largest seed dispersers of Brazilian fauna and one of those responsible for the formation of tropical forests. Thus, for the brand, the dispersion of seeds by the toucan conceptually symbolizes the dissemination of knowledge that is the purpose of the website.
