During the COVID-19 pandemic, and especially these last months,
I re-watched a few episodes of the famous british TV series, Doctor Who,
produced and distributed by BBC. This fantastic sci-fi series, which has over
50 plus years of creative storytelling and fear-indulcing monsters
at its shoulders, certainly can be considered as one of
my favourite series of all time.
So, in homage to everything this series represents for me and so many other
Whovians (fans of Doctor Who) around the world, I made a new
personal project with the TARDIS at focus. The ship, an abbreviation of
“Time And Relative Dimensions In Space”, is the transportation device used
by the Doctor, the main character of the series, to travel throughout
the universe, disguised as a 1960´s british police telephone box.
As the TARDIS can land anywhere in all of time and space, the graphic arts
produced here are recreations of multiple destinations the Doctor and
its companions visited during the series, and also a few places based on
some of my previous projects as a graphic design and
creative advertisement student.
This project is not (and might never be fully) completed, as the history of
Doctor Who and its universe is ever-expanding, soon reaching its 60th birthday,
and there are plenty other stories that I would like to add to this project
in the foreseeable future.
The first 35 arts were produced during the first semester of 2021,
with more to come…
TARDIS PELO UNIVERSO
Durante a pandemia de COVID-19 - especialmente nos últimos meses, assisti novamente alguns episódios da famosa série de TV britânica, Doctor Who, produzida e distribuída pela BBC.
Esta fantástica série de ficção científica, com mais de 50 anos de narrativa criativa e monstros aterrorizantes nas costas, certamente pode ser considerada uma das
minhas séries favoritas de todos os tempos.
Então, em homenagem a tudo que ela representa para mim e tantos outros Whovians
(fãs de Doctor Who) ao redor do mundo, realizei um novo projeto pessoal com a TARDIS em foco. A nave espacial, cujo nome é uma abreviatura de “Time And Relative Dimensions In Space”, é o meio de transporte utilizado pelo Doutor, personagem principal da série,
para percorrer o universo, enquanto se mantém disfarçada de
cabine telefónica da polícia britânica dos anos 1960.
Como a TARDIS pode pousar em qualquer lugar em todo o tempo e espaço, as artes gráficas aqui produzidas são recriações de diversos destinos que o Doutor e seus companheiros visitaram durante a série, além de lugares baseados em alguns de meus projetos anteriores,
produzidos na minha época como estudante de design gráfico e de publicidade e propaganda.
Este projeto não está (e talvez nunca esteja) concluído, já que a história de Doctor Who e seu universo, que em breve chegará ao seu 60º aniversário, está em constante expansão e existem outras histórias que gostaria de adicionar ao projeto no futuro.
As primeiras 35 artes foram produzidas durante o primeiro semestre de 2021, com mais por vir…
