INTRODUCTION Design for me is the way of improving people’s daily life. I love solving people’s problems and with design I bring together necessity and beauty to get products which make anyone feel better in any way. I always try to find the best solution for the problems and taking into account the user. When I design a product I think that it must be functional because if it’s not, that won’t help anyone. I consider myself a thinker. I am always looking around in order to find inspiration and see how the world works. I live with a little notebook on to write ideas I have or inspiration I obtain wherever I am.

ABOUT ME My name is Ander Avila. I am currently studying a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design and Product Development Engineering at Mondragon University. I consider myself really ambitious with every project I get involved in. I always want to get the best outcome out of every work and I don’t give up until the result convinces me. I always say that when I do a task, I need to complete it well because to do something bad, I prefer not to do it. I also like to give everything what I can to do something innovative and interesting. I believe in the quality of my works and I am always ready to defend them. However, this doesn’t mean that I am stubborn, as my very first intention is to learn, I really like to debate in order to take the best outcome. It is important to defend what you do, but it is even more important to be honest and listen to your mate if you want to learn more.

CUPRA-RIM Industrial Design
Design an aluminium rim for Leon Cupra
Description Team work (x5)
The aim of this project has been to redesign and develop the rim for Leon Cupra, taking into account some Mapsa’s specifications. In order to do that, the project has been divided into 3 stages. Firstly, an analysis of the whole product and the user’s pleasures. Then the work has been focused on creating new ideas, Finally, an idea was developed and tested to check its functionality.

Where’s the opportunnity? In 1996 Seat brand created a denomination called Cupra. This denomination would be used to name its high class sport cars. Some years later they realized that Seat and Cupra brands were totally different; they had different user target, their cars had different shapes, the brands had different values... Due to that, in 2018 they decided to differentiate the two brands although they would continue being part of the same company. This division was the beginning of this project. As it’s said before the two brands were difference; nevertheless as Cupra was a new brand, it used some parts of Seat’s cars in its cars which not fit with the whole shape of the car. Due to this fact Mapsa contact us. Mapsa is a Spanish brand which makes different rim models for different car brands. One of these brands it’s Cupra, so they give as a model car, the Leon Cupra, and we have to design a new rim for that model.
→ 2018
12
Ideation We create different sketches of rims for Leon Cupra. After analysing the brand we saw that they said their logo is a perfect example of what they want to transmit because it represents simply all the values of the brand. Because of that, we decided to think about how we could insert the logo in a rim, so we deform the logo to get a shape inspired in that.
→ 13
Testing After we get a concept we need to test it to be sure that it will be functional in real life. Mapsa told us how a rim is tested. We need to apply an alternating torque test to simulate the effort of speeding up and braking in the rim and a rotating bending test to simulate the effort the car does to the rim in curves. We needed to put more material in some parts but we get both test correctly.
We also need to check the fabrication of the rim. In order to check that we analysed the draft angles, we check the fabrication of the casts by milling and the weight of the rim must be less than 11kg.

Prototyping After we get the final shape for the rim, the one which fulfils all Mapsa’s requirements, we start prototyping it. We print it in halves. Then to obtain a smooth surface we sand it, When the surfaces were correct we applied a white primer before painting. When it was dry we start painting the prototype. Finally, we apply a varnish layer to obtain a gloss effect.
15
Final Product At the end of this project, we obtain Cupra-Rim. This rim is made by aluminium die casting and represents the brand’s values clearly. To give a more personalized option to the costumer we designed a 4 colour range to choose the one which fits the best with each car. These colours are copper (the one Cupra uses), metallic grey, black and cream.
16
These rim’s elegance and sportiness fit perfectly with Cupra and with a car like the Leon Cupra. Its smooth curves and symmetry complete the aesthetic of the car giving to it an added value of communication.

Packaging Design
Develop an innovative and sustainable honey packaging
Description Team work (x3)
2020
In honey’s sector, they had a problem that Apisol company wants to solve: there is no packaging of a honey dispenser without plastic. Nowadays the world is changing to a more sustainable place and this company wants to do the same so they order us to develop an innovative and sustainable honey packaging for them.

Where’s the opportunnity? In honey’s packaging world they had a problem. The common honey’s industrial dispensers are very useful but they are all made by plastic and the world’s trend is to reduce the plastic use in order to get a more sustainable world. This fact has already been applied in different sectors but with the honey there is no reference of how is possible to get a useful honey dispenser without plastic so that’s a clear opportunity to analyse and develop. This project was sent by Apisol, the biggest honey distributor in Spain.
20
The honey is a natural product and Apisol’s target is not a gourmet user so we need to get a natural and elegant packaging but it doesn’t have to look like a gourmet product. It must try to avoid an industrial aspect too. Due to that, some materials were analysed to look for the best materials for the packaging and the selected ones were crystal, wood and stainless steel.

Inspiration When a solution for the dispenser was looked for an interesting mechanism was found. The shutter of cameras work by an iris mechanism that allows to open and close a hole by a simple rotating movement.
21
Mechanism A mechanism formed by 4 different pieces and a spring joined together only by 3 screws has been created. This mechanism imitates the iris mechanism of a camera’s shutter. With a small twist, it’s possible to open the hole to the size the user wants, easily dispensing the honey. The mechanism includes a spring with which the hole is automatically closed, avoiding the waste of honey, dripping and facilitating its use.
22
This option gives the user a way to clean it more simply. Also, it make the dispenser easier to fill, making it a refillable and reusable product. The upper hole, the main function of which is to fill the bottle, has been doubled in size compared to below hole.
Another mechanism of this product would be the union of the main parts by simple threads. The central part of glass has two threads that allow it to join as the wooden cover as the dispenser.
23
Final Product The result of this project was Erla. This is an innovative sustainable dispenser for honey. It is made only of wood, glass and stainless steel, managing not to use plastic. Erla creates a new user experience thanks to its simple dispensing mechanism, providing an easy, comfortable and quick solution to serve honey.
24
Transportation The transportation of the product could be made in boxes like the most of feeding products. Besides, its shape of the hexagonal prism makes it perfect to fit different sizes of boxes due to the fact that is mathematically the most efficient shape to cover an area.

Design a product for disability
Social Design Description
Individual work
2020
The products are generally designed without taking into account disabled people and because of that several products aren’t useful for disability. In this project, three measurement tools (a measure tape, a syringe and a measuring jug) have been designed for blind people as they cannot use these tools because the eyesight is necessary.

Where’s the opportunnity? There are several products which aren’t useful for disabled people because they weren’t designed taking into account the needs and the abilities of these people. I realized that most of the measuring tools aren’t adapted to blind people because the eyesight is a requirement to use them, to read the measurement for example. Three measurement tools (a measure tape, a syringe and a measuring jug) have been designed in this project for blind people.

Syringe Measure tape Measuring jug
User analysis When different tools are designed for disability is necessary to analyse the user and know which abilities he has or has not and his behaviour. In order to know that some interviews were done to blind people. As they have no eyesight or they have almost lost their eyesight, they have different ways to understand their environment. Some of them know Braille but others don’t but they can read things if they are in offset. Because of that, both ways are interesting to communicate with the user. They also use textures to know what they have around so applying different materials and textures its possible to communicate with the user.

User Testing Once the user analyse was finished the three products were analysed to see what incoveniences they have for blind people. All of them have the same problem: they aren’t readable without eyesight.

Ideation After analysing the user and the three tools, the sketching phase started until three concepts were got.
31
Final Products SYRINGE The first product is a syringe. This product has no changes in the mechanism and it has only had changes in shape. This syringe is made of plastic and it has two parts. The moveable one, the white part, is to count the doses and the other to know how much each dose is and to improve the grip.
32
Use In order to use this syringe, first of all, it’s necessary to see how much each dose is in the red side. In this case, each dose is 10 millilitres. Then the syringe is filled and the rings that are outside the tube are counted. These are the number of doses. For example, if there are six rings outside it means that there are six doses inside the syringe, so the syringe has 60 millilitres inside.
Support position As it was seen before the supporting position could be improved. A three supporting point part has been designed which gives a better grip to the user. This part also gives information to the user of how many millilitres are each dose. For example, in this product, there is a number ten with offset and in Braille which means that each dose is of 10 millilitres.
33
Support position The support position of this product is covered by silicone. This way the blind person can guide by his touch. In this part, the unit of measure of the jug is written in Braille and with offset.
Final Products MEASURING JUG The second one is a measuring jug. This product has a small mechanism by magnets to see the level of the liquid. This jug is made of plastic and silicone to get different textures.
34
Use This product can be used in two easy steps. Firstly the level indicator must be located. This is a part that moves up and down with the liquid level. It has a cork part inside the jug that floats in the liquid and it’s joined to the exterior side part using a magnet. This way when the exterior part is located it’s only necessary to touch the jug and read the nearest number graven in the jug in braille and in offset to know the quantity of liquid that is inside the jug.
35
Final Products MEASURE TAPE This is the adapted measure tape. The mechanism of this tool is the same as a normal measure tape. The changes have been done in the outside of the tool. This product is made of plastic and silicone to get different textures.
Support position The tape measure has a ring shape. This shape allows a more secure way to hold the tape measure. The supporting position is also covered by silicone. With this different texture, the user knows where he must put his hand to use the product. It also has a simple button in this part to lock the tape easily and to be able to read the measurement.
36
Setoff In order to become a readable measure tape for blind people the numbers in the tape have been written in offset

Where’s the opportunity? The world is changing. We have realized that through years we have attacked our planet and know our way of thinking is changing too. Because of that, we are using more and more renewable energies. This trend joined to the trend that cities are becoming more sustainable and they are trying to create more green zones in them we find an opportunity: developing a safe place to store personal items in a public park that runs on photovoltaic solar energy. This product must mimic with the park and be safe. It will be developed as one service in cities like bicycles nowadays.
40
User Analysis To start with the analysis of the user, we have observed different people in the parks, and this way, we have gotten a better understanding of the different users of the park and its problems. We have chosen a mother because we see that they were one of the principal users of parks. Some mothers were interviewed and the result was a place to store things like their children’s bags while they can enjoy playing with their children. They also said that having light would be interesting to illuminate the park at night.

Ideation In the beginning of the ideation phase, we have done a divergent process to produce as many ideas and concepts as possible, in line with the previous analysis.
42
43
Sustainability Analysis In order to get a product as sustainable as possible, the Ihobe Methodology have been used. This methodology has 7 steps: preparing an ecodesign project, environmental aspects, improvement ideas, concept developing, detailed product and evaluation. All these steps have been followed and some results obtained. They have been used in the product to improve it.

Product Localization To implement the service a place has been chosen. The place is Bilbao, a city in Spain. The service of Citylock in this city have been named as “Bilbaolock” because the city’s services have this kind of names in this city (“Bilbaobizi” for bicycles or “Bilbaogarbi” for rubbish). The location of the lockers would be in the parks as it has been said before, and to locate them exactly an app has been developed. With this app, a user will be able to see which lockers are free, to take a locker, to unlock his locker...
45
Final Product Citylock is an example of the mandatory evolution to a green city. Modern and green, this public locker is thought to be in city parks, scattered and distributed to be accessible at any point. It has 2 drawers to store any personal belongings you have to feel comfortable while you play with your children.
46
Fully powered by its solar panel, Citylock also lights automatically the surroundings at night, replacing the street lights and saving energy. All of this covered with a modern, contemporary and natural aesthetic, perfectly visible with the garden that surrounds the solar panel and its wood-like and rounded recycled exterior material.
