BROCHURE /CATALOG
Tesla Model S
I aimed to create a simple yet active design using red accent lines to lead the viewer’s eye through the well balanced pages.
I also incorporated the Tesla logo consistently throughout the document that added to the page layout.
Requirements: Horizontal Brochure (8.5”x5.5”) Use logo on all pages
Dual Motor Model S is a categorical improvement on conventional all-wheel drive systems. With two motors, one in the front and one in the rear, Model S digitally and independently controls torque to the front and rear wheels. The result is unparalleled traction control in all conditions.
Conventional all-wheel drive cars employ complex mechanical linkages to distribute power from a single engine to all four wheels. This sacrifices efficiency in favor of all weather traction. In contrast, each Model S motor is lighter, smaller and more efficient than its rear wheel drive counterpart, providing both improved range and faster acceleration.
All-wheel drive is standard on Model S 70D and available as an option on Model S 85.
Tesla’s design and engineering teams have gone to extraordinary lengths to ensure that air flows smoothly above, around and below Model S to reduce drag, which in turn maximizes battery range. The smart air suspension lowers the car’s height at highway speeds to reduce its frontal area. Electronically controlled vents stay closed until sensors detect that cooling is necessary. The front bumper routes air uninterrupted beneath the battery’s flat skidplate and past the rear diffuser. The result is a seven seat sedan with
the stance of a coupe and supercar aerodynamics.

Highest Safety Rating in America
Model S is designed from the ground up to be the safest car on the road, as proven by a 5-star rating in all categories of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) crash test. Much of its safety s owed to the unique electric drivetrain that sits beneath the car’s aluminum occupant cell in its own subframe. This unique positioning lowers the car’s center of gravity, which improves handling and minimizes rollover risk, and replaces the heavy engine block with impact absorbing boron steel rails.
Side impacts are met by aluminum pillars reinforced with steel rails to reduce intrusion, protecting occupants and the battery pack while improving roof stiffness. In the event of an accident, eight airbags protect front and rear occupants, and the battery
Model S Model S 7 Autopilot Autopilot combines a forward looking camera, radar, and 360 degree sonar sensors with real time traffic updates to automatically drive Model S on the open road and in dense stop and go traffic. Changing lanes becomes as simple as a tap of the turn signal. When you arrive at your destination, Model S will both detect a parking spot and automatically park itself. Standard equipment safety features are constantly monitoring stop signs, traffic signals and pedestrians, as well as for unintentional lane changes.

Logofolio 2021-2022
This is my Logo journey, but more like my entire graphic design journey that brings me a lot of personal memory when I look back. We have a proverb in Japan, “Always keep your mind as open as when you began.“ After many years, I would always come back here and get confident of what I have done and what I will have done in my career.
