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.

 The pocket rolled up so it can be used as a belt: 

Bag harness is another way to make it multifunctional:

Design work

While looking into the bag design I found this step by step guide on making a simple dry bag. i want to do a sample using this guide to see how successful it is and to also see if I can use it for my final design.  https://www.instructables.com/id/Dry-Bag/ From this I drew a sketch of what I wanted to achieve. With the addition of the belt.

Initial ideas

When I first started this brief the initial idea of jewellery came to mind. I'd already got some images in my head from my favourite brands that would inspire my own piece, most of them are organic yet simple designs which is what I wanted to achieve. The almost unpolished aesthetic to these pieces is what appeals to me so I wanted to include this style in my potential designs. These shapes remind me of seabeds and coral which links to the images I started collecting on pinterest. In order to achieve this it would involve the use of the metal work facilities which is something I'd have to look into, without the facilities it would prevent me from going ahead with this idea.

Acronym

While still researching for my essay and practical work I thought it would be relevant to put in this brand that I've been looking into called 'Acronym'. Their style in a fusion of function and aesthetic whilst taking influence from a number of resources, mostly eastern asian culture and techwear. There is a 3 minute video on the link which I will put below for you to watch, it visualises the difference because techwear for function purposes and for aesthetic purposes which is something I'm discussing in my essay. https://www.grailed.com/drycleanonly/techwear-cyberpunk-orientalism
