Eduardo Macedo

PROFILE

I STRONGLY BELIEVE in PASSION, HARD WORK and CRAFT with CARE. CURRENTLY I AM HAVING a GREAT TIME WORKING with THE TALENTED PEOPLE from ALMAPBBDO.

I am driven by seeking problems and solving them through creativity. Mixing bold ideas with well-crafted design to deliver high-quality work that people enjoy to watch, use and share. I also like to lead teams and collaborate across departments to get the best work out of everyone involved. I have more than 10 years of professional experience with a focus on storytelling, integrated campaigns, and visual identity systems.

Although my strength lies in visual arts, reading plays a big part in my creative process, especially sociology, psychology, and philosophy books. This allows me to keep a sharp mind in order to propose more accurate solutions to brands’ and people's needs.

Over the past few years, I've had the opportunity to create branded content and digital experiences for large brands and companies such as Getty Images, Volkswagen, Havaianas, Coca-Cola, Netflix, Oakley, Fila and many other national and international brands. My work has been recognized and awarded in the most prestigious advertising and digital festivals such as D&AD, Cannes, One Show, Clio Awards, Art Directors Club, The FWA, Awwwards, among others.

Feel free to drop me a line. I'm always up for a nice chat:

Endless Stories

Our industry is undergoing plenty of changes, but one of the trends that’s here to stay is content as advertising. Entertainment content, to be more specific. And Getty Images has an asset that has the potential to become a great line of business: the editorial archive.

To communicate the more than 250MM of images and videos from Getty Images’s Editorial Archive, we created a short film and an interactive website made entirely with our content. They recount the story of the Fight of the Century - and also all the amazing tales surrounding the night of March 8th, 1971.

ZIMWI

Inspired by the folklore of ZIMWI, the mythological Kenyan monster that inspired the name of the shoe, we created a short film telling the story of a boy overcoming his greatest fear by running towards it.

To drive the visual concept, we focused on the main technology built in the shoe called Energized Ribbons. This feature served as the key element to inspire the whole campaign: films, posters, prints, OOH ads and content for social media.

Volkswagen

New Polo / Up! / Amarok

In 2016, after launching its new modular design platform called MQB, Volkswagen introduced a new brand positioning in the Brazilian market.

The evolution of this movement on the digital landscape is told on the brand's subsequent websites: Amarok, up! and New Polo, the new models for 2016-2017. To create a consistent identity between the platforms, we established a system focused on 3 key points: sophisticated art direction, intuitive UX/UI, and relevant content.

Fila

Live the Legacy

In its golden age, FILA was one of the biggest brands during some of the greatest moments in sports history - such as tennis in the 70's, motoring in the 80's and basketball in the 90's. But the strategy to focus on pricing and the not-so-fashionable new collections drove Fila to lose their brand equity over the past few years.

To reposition it as a fashion sportswear brand, we brought back the glamour from their iconic past and created a story inspiring people to live that legacy now.

Oakley

Dreamland VR

Bob Burnquist, one of the greatest skateboarders ever, was about to release his first pro shoe by Oakley Brazil. To deliver something more relevant to consumers, we created an amazing VR experience at Dreamland, the skater's famous backyard playground. The audience had the opportunity to put on Bob's shoes and ride his own mega ramp.

The film was released in both YouTube 360 and Facebook 360. We also created a limited-edition cardboard VR viewer attached to the shoebox, gifting the buyers with a unique way to watch the experience.

Capital Skateboarding

Monumental

I designed these boards for a Brazilian skateboarding brand. With a modernist touch, the visual concept behind the graphics was inspired by the reinforced concrete, one of the most important element of the modernist architecture at the 20th century.

Easily found on the most iconic Brasilia city' buildings designed by Oscar Niemeyer.

Sense8: Decoded

Sense8 is an Original Netflix series by the Wachowskis. It's hard to put it in a box. It looks like sci-fi but touches on religion, gender issues, multiculturalism, and even Korean underground fighting.

To convey its broad appeal, we created SENSE8:DECODED: a series of short interviews with eight experts on various fields to explain the world beyond the series. The goal was to make sure everyone felt connected to it in some way. We also created a website where the audience could watch the videos and discover more about each specialist.

Terracomprida

Visual identity

Terracomprida is a small hydropower company that delivers energy to local communities in Espirito Santo, Brazil.

Inspired by modernism and minimalism movements, we wanted to come up with a bold and disruptive visual identity for them. So, exploring a singular perspective from an electric tower, we created five symbols in order to represent an energy distribution network.

Posters

Who doesn't like posters? Here's a personal selection of them.

The first set I made to celebrate the Brasília's 50th anniversary. The concept revolves around a city unaffected by time. The visual approach was to combine the graphic pattern from the great artist Athos Bulcao with geometric watches, making past, present and future frozen in time. The second one I created for a skateboard movie and the other one I made for the Museu Da Casa Brasileira contest. The third one I made for a friend getting a tattoo and the lettering end up been on a wall.
