Buoys

As I've progressed through this brief and explored different areas I've now got a good idea on what my focus is, for both my accessory and essay. I just wanted to go back to my initial concept and look at some images that inspired me to ensure I don't loose this while while going off on a tangent. I want to keep to the theme of sea life and use water buoys as my inspiration, while I started linking this to dry bags I want to mix in the vibrant colours that water buoys are. Using shape and colour to create something that could be visually pleasing whilst still having function; the function of keeping items dry around water. 

 I have taken into consideration how shape can vary so when I come to sampling I will trail different shapes to see which one works the best. I'm leaning more towards a longer shape rather than small and round but will experiment with a few.

Multi Use

I wanted to add another element to the bag so thinking about how I can do this was quite challenging. Some of the ideas I had that could make for a successful addiction are making it so it can roll up or adding pockets. I want to sample with both and see which one adds more functionality, I think by making it a belt as well will add this element to the bag. My next step for this project is to draw some sketches up and find a design that will represent my theme of function over aesthetic.   When the pocked it down and can be used:  The pocket rolled up so it can be used as a belt:  Bag harness is another way to make it multifunctional:

Save the Duck

Whilst looking into brands that have a specific ethos I came across this one called 'Save the Duck'. I personally like that they are cruelty free and vegan which is something I'd want to incorporate into my designs and practice as I live a vegan lifestyle. It's refreshing to know that there are brands out there that are creating contemporary garments that aren't made using animal and compromising the aesthetic or function of the jacket. Most of the jackets they sell are waterproof or have certain qualities that make them suitable for outdoor weather, the look of the garment is  still considered but it is obvious that the function and ensuring the garment is sustainable/recycled were possible is the main focus.  Here's the link to have a look at other styles and colours they do.  https://www.savetheduck.it/ce_en/men/fall-winter/focus-on/recycled.html
