I’m Lorenzo Bernini (not this one,
but this one), a Communication Design Master student at Politecnico di Milano.
Since I can remember, I’ve always been interested in telling stories through images.
Over the years I developed this passion through filmmaking, graphic design, 2D and 3D animation.

Your Inner Insect was born as a reflection on the theme of metamorphosis through the eyes of Franz Kafka.
In his book The Metamorphosis (1916) the author links complex psychological conditions, to an insect (a cockroach).
The website consists of a guided experience where users can explore their social insecurities by answering some questions
through different types of interactions. Each question is associated with a different insect’s body part. By answering each
question the user will be assigned different types of insect’s body parts according to the answer selected. At the end of the test,
all the body parts combined will give shape to a new kind of insect, your inner insect.
All the inner insects created by previous users can be viewed in the Archive, where they can be sorted by various parameters.
You can check out the website here.

3D Short Film

2021
Felici, Contenti e Sottotitolati (Happy and Subtitled Ever After) is an animated short film that aims
to raise awareness on content accessibility. The advantages of using subtitles are shown through the
reimagination of a typical fairy tale.
I was mainly involved in the modeling, animation and rendering process,
building and texturing every set and character based on the illustrations.

Title Sequence
Politecnico di Milano
2021
MuVi is an international festival about synesthesia and visual music. For its 6th edition (MuVi6) we were asked to develop a
title sequence, based on a song of our choice. We chose to realize a 3D animation, where a myriad of edgy shapes, move in
rhythm with the music, towards one specific point, ending up joining together to form a giant number "6".

Confidential is a three part 3D animated series, distribueted through Instagram,
that tells the story of the finding of a strange creature. The creature was sculpted, animated and rendered in Blender.
Here are some more images of the creature.



Videogame
Politecnico di Milano
2020
Sunday is a story driven puzzle game, where you play as Daniel, a man that wakes up at the sound of the doorbell.
His memories are confused. He doesn’t remember why he’s sleeping in the middle of the day and he has no idea who might be
at the door. What is even stranger is that, when he opens the front door, this leads him back into his bedroom.
He quickly realizes that he’s stuck in a loop inside his house.
On this project I first developed the main concept and then wrote the entire story of the game.
Being the only designer on the team, I then worked on designing the environments, building them in Blender and bringing them in Unity.
This also involved texturing every asset and lighting every scene.
The game can be downloaded from itch.io.

Soli is a 17 minutes short film that tells the story of some people who have lost the habit of communicating and staying together,
developed during Italy's 2020 first lockdown.
Made in 3D with Blender, I was responsable for every step of the creative process, from pre-production (writing, storyboarding, concept art), to
production (modeling, shading, retopology, animation, directing, lighting) and post-production (editing, sound, color correction).
Here's a trailer, the full lenght short film and a detailed report of the work are available on the project website.

During the course of a five days workshop, we were asked to realize a short video targeted towards young teenagers.
We came up with an animated short that aims to raise awareness on mental health, through a visual metaphor.
After coming up with the concept and drawing the storyboard, I realized the environment and the lighting for the forest in 3D with Blender.
The 2D animated fireflies and the 3D background come together thanks to the lighting, driven by the 2D characters, but rendered in the 3D environment.

Booklet
Politecnico di Milano
2020
La dignità delle piramidi (The dignity of pyramids) is a short booklet that collects some reflections on the work of Bernd
and Hilla Becher, two of the most influential photographer of the 20th century. In the second part of the book the photographs
are organized into categories of buildings (typologies), following the duo’s distinctive archival structure.

Schandefreudemetertest is an interactive experience that takes place thanks to a machine, consisting of six screens, an eye-tracker and a printer.
The experience resembles a scientific test, whose purpose is to make people think about human morbidity and especially about the concept of schadenfreude (the pleasure driven by others’
misfortunes), in its multiple emotional and social implications.
The volunteer rests his chin on a special support and watches a series of videos
on the screens, one of which concerns the death of one or more people. If the attention lingers long enough on the violent video, another
screen will start broadcasting death videos and so on. The eye-tracker records the subject's attention shifts and returns a printed report, where a
graph and other data, illustrate the result of the test.

Brand Identity
Politecnico di Milano
2019
We were asked to develop a new visual identity for Villa Necchi Campiglio, a 1930s modern villa-museum in the heart of Milan. Everything started with the
trademark, inspired by the strong and geometric shapes of the architecture, designed by Piero Portaluppi. Then we evolved the original idea into a series
of artifacts (stationery, merchandise, wayfinding, website) to generate a complete system.
As part of the promotional campaign, we realized a series of short videos, each dedicated to a particular section of the villa.

Video Essay

2019
Once Upon a Time in the Web explores the evolution of freedom of expression on the internet. From the early days of the world wide web
a lot has changed in terms of content censorship, because of economic and cultural reasons. The video illustrates, through a visual and
narrative metaphor (the end of the Wild West era), the paradigm shift that is taking place.

A monographic magazine issue about Paul Rand, world famous American graphic designer, one of the fathers of modernism. His vast work is analyzed
through four thematic chapters, each dedicated to a different area: editorial design, advertising, corporate identity and packaging design.
In addition, I realized a short video essay, based on an interview we had with Steven Heller, New York Times journalist and graphic design critic.
