Back in high school we learnt how to do technical drawing. Our teacher gave us an object, and we have to translate it from 3D to 2D from different perspectives. I loved it. Now I tried tapping to that part of my brain while designing this bag and some other ideas I have.
The thing is, I tried drawing the pattern, then I made a prototype but it didnt fit properly when I did the twisting. My first attempt looks a bit wonky. The upside of it, I think it is more ergonomic to handle. My second attempt is more a purse than a bag, but it's more symmetrical. So I am in the right direction. Maybe I should keep the same pattern as the purse for the bag, more oval than what I had in mind.
My goal is to make a bag big enough for my camera but it doesnt look like a camera bag, and cute enough I can carry every where. And, oh, I need to get a logo to match.
As I am a clumsy old fart so I always envied creative persons who could handle materials. So a feel a hunch of jealousy.
ReplyDeleteIs this little project of yours the start of something big?
Because once you have the perfect bag which doesn't show it is a bag, you may start to create the camera which doesn't look like a camera but fits the bag.
And after that there has to be a marketing strategy for this excellent dual-gadget.
Who said I havent started with the camera which doesnt look like a camera at the first place? ;)
