Street art by Retna

These are images of art pieces and murals by Los Angeles-based street artist Retna. His work fuses two forms of graphic art: calligraphy and graffiti. He creates art that captures the hypnotic mystery and elegance of ancient calligraphy and the bold colourful expression of street art. Somehow he manages to make art that is timeless yet contemporary. He is also well-known from his collaboration with a various main street artist as we can see with El Mac

Even though it doesn’t look comfortable, Baker Miller Pink Hoodie has designed and developed to chill you out. It is claimed as world’s most relaxing piece of technical clothing, it even comes with special soundtrack that you can listen while wearing this hoodie.

Designed specifically to activate your parasympathetic nervous system (system that controls rest and recovery), this hoodie is ideal to wear before and after of any exercises. Whether you’re counting down the hours to marathon, Ironman race start, or simply ready to collapse with exhaustion, this hoodie helps you zone out in. It forces your body and mind to rest, thus, helping you improve your performance and speed recovery.

Designer : Vollebak

By wearing the hood to cover your head, the mesh visor floods your vision with a shade of pink that helps to lower your heart rate. You can see out but no one can see in. the positioning of the visor encourages you to breathe through your nose that would naturally slow your breathing. Those Asymmetrical Sling Pockets are not there just for convenient, by putting your arms inside, it minimizes your movement, thus, limiting oxygen consumption and keeping you focus on deep stomach breathing.

Artist: Rafael Jiménez

Born in 1989, Córdoba, Spain. His work moves between abstraction and reality. With classic painting technique but using plasticine, the artist endeavors to grasp the borderlines between fiction and reality, making the impression of a screen glitch. This way, he emphasizes his own perception of the portrait on contrasts between a hasty dysfunctional snapshot of a face, blurred, distorted by movements and the photographic immobility. A mix of hyperrealism and fauvism, it could be digital art and yet it is material and raw. (image courtesy of Modus Operandi).

Futuristic Personal Helicopter for India by Sreejin Uchummal

From every level of society, people want to spend quality time with their loved ones, want to relax, and want to spend stress-free time in today’s world. But because of the traffic and related stress, traveling in luxury is something that no one is able to afford at the moment. This is where the need for change is wanted, and this project aims to enhance that luxurious experience of traveling when people can afford it in the coming future. An innovative solution in the form of a personal transportation for individual commuting has been designed, this project offers you futuristic design of a personal helicopter.

Designer : Sreejin Uchummal

Special Thanks to Prof. Gopinath C

At present, in the personal helicopter production companies and other research organizations, people are trying to design a flying device that is single-seater, compact in size, light-weight, and efficient to facilitate aerial traveling but the technology being limited, single seated personal helicopters are still in the research or validation state. But in the future, resource and technology will be in abundance and advanced enough to make single-seater helicopters possible for economical level operation. So, to design the product that will be produced in the future, the designer needs to start with primary data collection and future trends and styles. And then survey on the needs and requirements that will be arrived in the future from the data collected. Based on these factors, a designer has to come up with final concept.

Based on the market survey and data collection QFD and PDS was derived. Concepts were generated and a final concept was chosen based on the Weight age Ranking Method. A scaled model 1:7 has been fabricated for design validation.

Tuvie has received “Futuristic Personal Helicopter for India” project from our ‘Submit A Design‘ feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their design/concept for publication.
