RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
I have designed many bags and I have learned how to compile market research, how to develop my designs and construction techniques with traditional way, communicate with suppliers to made special material to fulfill the design needs. Most importantly, how to evaluate the designs from the perspective of the consumer yet it reflect the lifestyle that interacts with nature in the most direct way
CHALLENGE:
There was no easy way to create a Totepographic with few sketches and also it can't translate well with paper mock-up. It took a lot more development time and test than common bag does, especially at the mock-up session. 3D software is help a lot in develop this bag, I can refine and test the result quickly in the software and it's more productive than traditional way to making this bag design and I can spot out the error in short time.
