RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
The research approach towards designing the DA18 Sling is centered around studying the lifestyle specific users. By accompanying and observing 5 carefully select users on their day-off (mixed gender, age between 18-28, living in the city and minimalist style) the designer was able to obtain an understanding of the user's lifestyle, as well as the items this particular group of users typically carry with them. The end form factor was directly derived from users requirement for a bag that can better cater for their more mobile and active movement as well as the items they require to carry with them. A series of prototypes were then built and road-tested to help designer fine-tune the design, ensuring that the product is practical to use in the real world.

CHALLENGE:
For DA18 Sling, the challenge lies in 2 key areas: Practicality and Security. Unlike other form factors, the sling bag can be carried in both vertical and horizontal orientations. This versatility provides the designer with unique set of practical challenge: enabling safe storage and easy access of items in multiple use orientation. The close quarter of the sling bag when carried also present a unique challenge for user accessing the bag. To address both practical issues outlined above, the designer elected to create the widest access for the bag as possible. This not only aids getting to the belonging in close quarters, but also enable it to be used in multiple orientation. The internal space have also been consciously designed to accommodate typical items that user may need to carry from phone & wallet to glasses and keys. The curve enclosure also had to be carefully refined to create a pleasing curve as well as retaining as much internal capacity as possible when closed. To address security concerns that accompany larger access, the designer integrates powerful magnets to create a self-closing enclosure, ensuring that the bag will always stay closed when not in use, allaying any concerns that belongings may fall out.
