PHOTOGENESIS battery powered photographer backpack
Team Members Brad Johnson Danny Calabrese
Project Overview
Ardica proposed a design competition that challenged entrants to incorporate their new battery technology, the Moshi Power Pack. This lithium-ion battery is lightweight, flexible, rechargeable and can power any device that is USB capable.
3rd Place Overall:
Ardica’s “Power to the People” International Design Competition. Over 100 International Entries

Project Overview
3rd Place
What’s the problem?
Photojournalists have to carry a multitude of equipment on the field which require recharging after an extended period of time. My group saw this as an opportunity to utilize the Moshi’s USB capabilities and light-weight attributes to design a product that could ease the load for a photojournalist.

Before the ideation phase, we looked at different products such as hiking backpacks and Camelbak packs. This allowed us to study different backpack construction and ergonomics.
Material Study:

Ideation: During the ideation phase, the form was influenced by the current target audience, the blue collar worker. We wanted the form to reflect the upper body strength, or hard work of the blue collar worker. For the expanded market, we were aiming for a more simplistic modern appeal.
Foam modeling was used to get an idea of size and feel in the hands.

CARGObaby diaper bag/changing pad
Project Overview The goal of this project was to design a baby bag that allowed the parents to organize their baby’s necessities in a manner that is easily accessible. In today’s society, men are becoming more involved with the responsibilities of taking care of the child. This has inspired me to design a bag that provides function, as well as style that appeals to both women and men.

style + function Compartmentalization:
Storage systems such as first aid kits, toiletries, and camera bags were used as a source of inspiration. All provide compartmentalization which allows the users to keep all items visible while organizing everything into designated pockets.

sleek Color & Form:
In order to have a subtle appearance, neutral colors such as black, greys, tans, and navy blues will be used for the final design. Simple forms and minimal pockets are desired to stray away from the baby bag stereotype.
Ideations: The early stages of ideation were used to explore different features that could be utilized to improve the current solutions on the market.
