    uniE608 Santander - Financiamento Saúde
    As part of the launching of a new financing service offered by the bank, the marketing team came up with the idea of making a video explaining it to the brokers. Financiamento Saúde is a program of tuition financing for students enrolled in health related courses, so the video aimed to explain the requirements and conditions of the service, as well as how to offer it to the clients. Based on a script, I came up with the storyboard and styleframe, which I ended up making an animated version of, but unfortunately we were not able to produce the video at the time.

    uniE608 Project Chocolate
    In order to exhibit the whole developing process of a white label platform, I’ve put together a presentation. The idea was to show the entire design process and results of the project in a dynamic and interesting way, highlighting the collaborative character of the product. It was my first experiment with digital collage, which reduced the amount of time necessary to make the illustrations, crucial to the timeframe I had. The following images are some of the slides and illustrations I’ve created for the presentation, and, for confidentiality reasons, the texts are scribbled out.

    uniE621 See you cater alligator
    Oil pastel and coloured pencil illustration, displayed at the Northern Contemporary Gallery (Toronto). I took inspiration from the symbiotic relationship between the Egyptian plover (bird) and crocodiles, in which the crocodile opens its mouth and the Plover flies in and eats bits of food stuck or leeches in its teeth. So, the Plover gets a meal and the Crocodile gets a free teeth cleaning. #illustrator #oilpastel #colouredpencil…

    uniE608 Santander - Histórias T&O
    Most of the projects I’ve worked on while working for Santander were related to internal marketing, and this video was part of a campaign focused on praising the technology team. Through a video sent to everyone in the company, we wanted to tell the story of Suzana, an employee whose unorthodox career led her to the tech department at Santander. Starting from a script from the marketing department, I came up with the style of the video bearing in mind that we wouldn’t have a lot of development time. Then I made the storyboard and a styleframe, followed by an animatic. The voiceover was recorded by the media department at the bank, which I used to make the animation on After Effects, using the illustrations I’ve made in photoshop.
