Fishing game with a physical interface

The idea of this project was to build a fishing minigame, similar to the ones found in popular games, such as Club Penguin and Mario Party, but this time using real water and a physical fishing rod to control it, bringing the virtual and physical spaces closer together.

Donald Duck comic sound design

Who doesn't like Donald Duck? In this class assignment, a classmate and I had to give a voice for him and his three nephews while also creating every single one of the sound effects, from the running to the explosions. Playing with sounds was a fun challenge and it also had a fun outcome.

Colorful Music

Do you know how to play music? Me neither. However, for this assignment we wanted to have fun with the sounds that each color could make. To explore our idea open the link below, allow the website to access your camera (it’s not spying on you, I promise) and point the camera to the most colorful things you can find!

IHOP in Ghana 🇬🇭

This assignment from our Branding for Diversity course challenged us to imagine and design brands in different countries and cultures. I chose to imagine how IHOP, a place known for its strong american breakfast, would look like in Ghana. New colors and menu items were added while keeping the famous pancakes.

Blocado

Our class was challenged to design and develop small web mini-games as the course’s final assignment. We decided to make a version of Tetris where players can choose between 3 random pieces and position them in the grid. The game is over when there is no possibilities to place any of the 3 available pieces anymore. After the course was over, the professor emailed all of the students asking us to vote on which game was better, and Blocado won! We got a R$30 voucher on a food delivery app! We had snacks and a fun game :)

Curupira Pathways

In collaboration with a National Park in a city close to ours, we received the challenge of designing something to make the park more attractive for visitors. We decided to focus on families, bringing a new and more clear information system to the park’s trails. Signs with maps and details would be placed at the start of each trail, and their color would show if the trail is easy or difficult. To make it more appealing for kids, we designed a friendly Curupira, a character from Brazilian mythology who protects nature. We also designed signs to be displayed in the middle of the trails, where Curupira showcases fun facts about the park’s animals and plants.

Fluxos

The city is asleep. Buildings are resting with its lights turned off, while traffic lights are flashing almost decoratively. The sun rises and the streets get crowded, filling with life an organism that, besides its constant chaos, has a rhythm and patterns. As the day goes on, many stories get written until stars get up in the sky. Lights get turned off one by one, and the cycle restarts.
