Photo Analysis

Streamline Experience- items remain in bag and forgotten

Adaptable- the bag will be used to carry many things

Security- the items were left alone and a secure storage area is needed

Sketching Discouraging neglected dirty clothing was extremely important to the design. This issue was resolved by adding wash bags in which dirty clothing

clean and dirty clothes. An external pocket was added to fit this need. An internal pocket was added to hide valuables.

Later prototypes focused were sling style and had an extra pocket for additional storage

Organization of dirty and clean items was key to design development.
