I totally believe that a more conceptual approach from a "creative process for product design" can generate very interesting results in automotive design.

Now, we also live a paradigm shift in the automotive industry, with the entry of the electric car, the autonomous car and the personal electric vehicle, which make the collaboration of freelance product designers in the automotive industry especially interesting.

For that reason, my current obsession is the design of an electric car from a more conceptual approach, from The Conceptual Nebula (my creative process).

Some important keys:
– low cost & high emotion (really cool)
– non-aspirational & without complexes
– conceptual vehicle & non-styling design
– new social icon & a real solution for true necessities

[ *In addition, I am looking for a company to develop an innovative idea about the personal electric vehicle ]

The Elevator Sketch

May 16, 2019

The Elevator Sketch is a concept similar to The Elevator Pitch, but to express an idea graphically. It is the minimum expression of a drawing to express an idea quickly.

I like to use elevator sketches to design because, when I am designing, I want to think about the concept and not the drawing. I want agility to think.

I have called this concept "Elevator Sketch". I advise my students to use this type of sketch to think, to design.

Do you draw or think?

I love to draw.

I love to think.

I design.

Drawing Thinking. Thinking Drawing. Design Thinking. Design.

The Conceptual Nebula
Linkedin miGUEL HERRANZ
October 07, 2015

The Conceptual Nebula is an analytical-emotional process that makes it possible to create conceptual tools based on analyzing the three core elements found in every project: culture, industry and society.

The Conceptual Nebula is the name I have given to the creative process that I have implemented over the years in both design and industry-related areas. The approach is equally valid for tackling an industrial design project as it is for developing a corporate one. It is a very useful tool for designing products as well as business plans, and provides each project with a different conceptual tool, a different methodology for every project. Likewise, it is a tool that can be applied to creating new companies as well as implementing changes in those that are already well established.

When I was a child (me in the picture) I liked cars like all the other children. However, I have always thought that cars had a "car aesthetic" that was different from the rest of the things. Later, I trained in product design and automotive design and found that the approach in automotive design was very different.

I've collaborated with car companies, achieved car design awards, taught automotive design and given lectures about it, working according to my knowledge of automotive design and through the automotive design methodology.

I engaged in a joint development project with SUBARU. SUBARU opened an opportunity for an external designer for the 1st time in its 100-year history.

An analytical-emotional process

The Conceptual Nebula is the name I have given to the creative process that I have implemented in both design and industry-related areas. The Conceptual Nebula is an analytical-emotional process based on analyzing the three core elements found in every project: culture, industry and society.

As an industrial designer, I work on technical and conceptual projects in a variety of fields. Regardless of the nature of the project or the field I’m working in, I always try to follow a commercial approach. And when I say commercial, I’m not exclusively referring to sales, but to the capacity of connecting with society.

 

The triple bottom line

Furthermore, if we consider the triple bottom line of a project or industry as the capacity to generate not only financial, but also social and environmental gains then a commercial approach – seen here as a way of connecting with society – contributes significantly to the triple bottom line of any kind of project or company. After all, the more commercial success a project has, the greater its social impact and, consequently, the greater the possibility of expanding its objectives in terms of social issues and sustainability. This is why I believe that the commercial nature of a project is not only essential to fulfilling an economic function, but also in establishing the necessary foundation to explore social and sustainability-related aims more thoroughly and effectively.

By reflecting on the commercial approach and how it connects with society, combined with all my years as a designer, I eventually came to analyze my creative process and developed a theory that I call The Conceptual Nebula.

 

For designing products as well as business plans

The approach is equally valid for tackling an industrial design project as it is for developing a corporate one. In other words, it is a very useful tool for designing products as well as business plans. Likewise, it is a tool that can be applied to creating new companies as well as implementing changes in those that are already well established.

The Conceptual Nebula is an analytical-emotional process that makes it possible to create conceptual tools for real solutions based on analyzing the three core elements found in every project: culture, industry and society. Each individual core consists of an infinite number of interconnected concepts that are full of nuances and often overlap. They make up a conceptual nebula of infinite connections that links the three cores within a closed circuit, as shown in the image below.

Even though the image is a diagram, I like to imagine the nebula as something three-dimensional and intangible in which all of these concepts move about and interact constantly. Furthermore, I always like to consider a fourth dimension, because I think it is very interesting to observe how these concepts evolve over time. Regardless of the project, whether it is specific or corporate in scope, how they perform over time is intrinsically linked to their conceptual basis and relationship to society.  

 

The three core elements

The culture core consists of a cumulative tangle of concepts relating to the cultural interests of not only the designer, but also the industry and society as a whole. Therefore, the personality of the designer, as well as the philosophy of the company or the various cultural trends that are, have or will be circulating in society, are integrated into this core.

The industry core comprises all of the concepts relating to the capacities, possibilities, limitations and aspirations of both the project and the company. This part covers the entire industrial potential of a company without ever losing sight of its limitations and evaluating how to handle these limitations in relation to the project and how they may evolve over time.

Finally, the society core comprises the constantly changing and dynamic atmosphere of concepts relating to the interests, dissatisfactions, aspirations and desires of society. Here I prefer to talk about society rather than the market, because it is closer to the concept of humanity. It is not as intimately linked to rational ideas, but closer to real social movements, which tend to be more impulsive, emotional, almost sexual at times, and, as a result, more irrational.

In order to complete this analytical work effectively, it is important to approach each core both in terms of its direct relationship to the project and in a completely independent manner, allowing for a broader and more thought-provoking perspective.

 

A conceptual tool for a real solution

Once the nebula for a project has been created in an analytical fashion, the true creative process consists of emotionally drawing connections between these concepts. In other words, if our analytical work is solid and we have created our nebula – which is not expressed as a presentation of ideas, market data, trends or anything the like, but is truly a nebula that follows us everywhere – small electrical charges will start to go off emotionally. Eventually they establish connections between concepts to build a path, occasionally even a highway, for us to follow. The path, which is the result of this process and varies from project to project, is what I call conceptual tool.

In short, using an analytical process to create a nebula for each project, followed by an emotional immersion that is in fact guided by the most relevant connections, provides each project with a different conceptual tool for a real solution. In other words, it results in a different methodology for every project.
