A rare piece of my collection: an interactive volvelle that teaches how to carry out a "cross road drill".

A small sample of instructional volvelles about all sort of subjects: geography, sewing machine features, Portuguese grammar, maths, birth control and so on.

Snapshot from one my presentations at Re-ading (15th February 2007). Two important designers were part of my audience: Gerard Unger and late Paul Stiff (just behind me). Photo by Lia Monica.

Illustrated ManualsThis is a small sample of my collection of more than 300 illustrated manuals. The start point was my PhD research, which has a chapter on "graphic representations of motion for instructional purposes". Besides working as a source of ideas, the collection became a topic of "show and tell" presen-tations at the Department of Typography & Graphic Communication (The University of Reading, United Kingdom) and De-partment of Design (Federal University of Paraná, Curitiba, Brazil).

Villa-Lobos has become the best-known and most signifi-cant Latin American compo-ser to date. He wrote numerous orches-tral, chamber, instrumental and vocal works.

PictogramThese illustrations were developed for the project “Communis" spon-sored by SENAI (Brazilian orga-nisation that deals with industrial training). Communis is a graphic system formed by printed cards with images and text. It is targeted to industrial managers who has to deal with employees that have speech difficulties (e.g. brain damages, intel-lectual deficiency, autism). In graphic terms, there is an obvious influence from Otto Neurath and Gerd Arntz work for the Isotype. However, later on these drawings had to be changed in order to fit to the in-house designer's style.

The study for representation of ethnic groups.

Family members.

The ageing process of the basic character (the good guy).

Besides background in industrial and footwear design, my main expertise is on instructional illustrations, but I am also able to create expressive or artistic images (mixed media). My objective for the next years is to join my craft skills as illustrator (han-drawn mainly) with my scientific knowledge on how to design effective graphic and cinematographic instructions.

Fifteen years experience as university lecturer including a short experience as teacher assistant at the Department of Typogra-phy & Graphic Communication (The University of Reading, UK). I have made presentations about the graphic representationof dynamic events in USA (Philadelphia and Atlanta) and UK (Wrexham, Cambridge, Greenwich and Reading), where my audience included technical communicators, information designers and illustrators.
