Resumen
There is a growing interest in framing sound-related areas of research suchas sonification, sonic interaction design and product sound design in terms of designmethodologies. Sound designers are seeking to structure a field traditionally charac-terised by tacit knowledge in terms of explicit design processes, tools and methods, toincrease the reach and impact of the field. In this paper, we describe the first twostages of a commercial sonification project for the design of sounds for Electric Vehi-cles. The project was developed applying a design methodology that integrates a spe-cific tool (the sonification canvas), which we describe in detail. We approach the crea-tion of sounds for Electric Vehicles as a designerly endeavour with the goal of contrib-uting to the transition of sound design from a heterogenous, practice-based field to astructured discipline that can enrich the creation of fulfilling experiences.
