Hoima Bicycle Documentary on IMDB

Image
Hoima Bicycle is listed on IMDB (Internet Movie Database) and if you've seen it, please consider giving it a rating.  It needs 5 user ratings to be given a number.  (You can be honest, it was my first documentary.)  If you haven't, it's posted on Youtube in 4 parts... This documentary shows the process of designing a bicycle for and with Ugandan bicycle couriers, known as Boda-boda. Filmed primarily in Uganda, it shows the realities of current day East Africa, from the chaotic streets of Kampala to the inside of gritty mud-thatched homes in rural Hoima. In Uganda many residents use cheap, clunky bicycles for their primary means of transportation. Through a unique collaboration between an American designer and Ugandan couriers, a new bicycle design was conceived and a prototype was made. The designer then traveled to Uganda to meet the couriers and to have the bike tested and critiqued. Would they like it? Or is it back to the drawing board? How can you use you...

Design Concepts for the Specialized Shiv TT bicycle

Image
These are student design concept renderings for color and graphics for the Specialized Shiv time trial bicycle 2011.   This is for my sophomore ID software skills course at Western Washington University, where we learn Illustrator, Photoshop, Rhinoceros, and Bunkspeed Shot.   I had them pick one of the pro teams that Specialized sponsors and use their colors and graphics.  These were done in Adobe Illustrator only, as they were learning how to use the pen tool and other features for ID rendering.   All designs are copyright to their respective designers. bicycle t-shirts, stickers, iPhone cases and other gear.
