We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer about their original and creative design work. is an award-winning creative designer, that makes our world a better place with their original works.
("") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work . Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
: The idea was to lesser the dependence we have today in our cell phones and also save a bit of battery in the meanwhile.
: Simplicity of course. When it comes to electronic devices, the more simple and understandable for everyone the better.
: I would be glad to sell it to those interested or even work a bit more on it to improve it.
: From the first sketches to the technical drawings and finishing with the last renders, it all took a couple of months.
: I was looking to give a new point of view to some of the most common objects we have at home, like our landline telephones which haven't been redesigned in years.
: It is not being used or produced by any other company but if I have the opportunity I would like to sell it or even make a prototype myself if that is not the case.
: I presented another project to the A' Design Awards 2013 in the Furniture & Homeware category and after that one I was looking for a challenge in another field.
: Of course. When I was designing it I was part of a design studio called "Que Maten al Diseñador" or "QMAD" for short, in Valencia, Spain. They helped me to polish the details of the concept.
: It was made so anyone in the family was able to interact with it, but I guess that it is more focused in those who have a bigger dependence on cell phones which are the young and middle age people.
: Before starting I didn't want to step over any other design so I did a bit of research and found out there were similar ideas. However most of them were portable so you wouldn't have less dependence on your cell phone, you would be carrying even more devices. Others were already integrated on the phone but we would be having the same problem than before. Also, even though they were able to project the screen of your phone on any surface you couldn't interact with the projection in any other way than by using your phone.
: PIP is just an abbreviation of Parallel Interactive Projector, which is actually the description of the product.
: Pen and paper at first and of course, once the sketch was finished, the most commons when designing, Autocad, Rhinoceros, 3D Studio, Photoshop, After Effects...
: I think it would be the possibility to interact with the screen projected of your phone without using any complex process, just by synchronizing it with the infrared diode.
: With the members of the actual "QMAD" design studio in Valencia, Spain.
: Technology is everything in this design. I used the latest and most updated components I could find to give the best quality possible to the product.
: I first looked up on the internet and design books for any other designs that were already on the market and aiming for the same idea I was. After that I made a valuation of the options I was able to integrate into my design and gave it shape from there.
: The most simple things are usually the ones that take more time. When I started adding options to the device I was realizing it was turning into something too complex to use so I decided to back up and make it cleaner without loosing its perspective.
: I though it was a good way to start in the world of Industrial Design.
: You always learn something new when doing some research for any new project. It was my first electronic device design and I learned about the many possibilities it had when choosing the different components of the product and production processes.
