Product Developement: Journey Man is comprised of two segments; Journey Man (which creates bespoke utilities for getting around in comfort and style) and Upcycled with Love (A branch dedicated to transforming pre-loved goods into new, improved, modernised pieces). This first half will showcase the ideas Journey Man has conjured: customised bike seats made from skate
decks and a new breed of messenger bag for artists and designers on the go.
Contents:
Bike Seats: Due to the discomfort most nike seats can cause, i decided to re-invent them using a different material that would allow a wider seat without marginaliasing comfort: old preused skate decks. With the noses and tails used to create support, skate decks make a natural transition to seat-hood
Artists Carry-All Messenger Bag:
Customised Skate Decks:
This was inspired to allow designers, artists or drafters of any form to carry all the essenntial tools needed to get the job done, traditionally and electronically
If not travelling by bike, what better way to get around than with the freedom that a skateboard brings. The designs created by Journey Man incorperate old traditional, fine art techniques with the new modern aspects of design and typography.
Bike Seats Here are some produt shots entailing some of the deails and specs of the seats. Over on the far right the images display the saddle rail all of which have been retrieved from older, discarded bike seats and made anew with a cote of paint. There are two styles available: wooden and painted. The wooden seats have laser etched designs and the later painted

Upcycled Goods: Upcycled With Love is an off -shoot from journey Man that specialises in up-cycling preloved goods from thrift stores like Vinnes. As you’ll see in the following pages we don’t limit ourselves to one kind of product either.
Up-cycled Clothing When selecting clothing from vintage stores we try to keep in mind the current fasion trends of the day- if we want to appeal to our demographic; young people, designers, art appreciaters, then we must only select clothing items that would suit a make over.
Bleached Flanel (F):
Aurora $15
Dyed Knit (M/F):
Pea Soup $25
Tie-Bleach Shirt (F/M):
Cut-Throat $15
Up-cycled Pitcher A simple object becoming a little extra special is what Upcycled With Love is all about! Here we gave a water pitcher (or is it a vase?) a little personality by adding some calligraphy.
Pitcher/ Vase:
Happy Lemons $10
Lawn Chair Sometimes a modern style will fall out of favor with current trends. However good design and comfort are always a winning combination, so when an items ticks all our boxes, with love and care, we’ll turn it into something that’ll rival it’s ‘trending’ peers.
Lawn Chair:
CC Babkock $45
The Brand As mentioned earlier, Journey man is a culmination of two parties: the first being the cover brand and Upcycled With Love being a minor subsection branch, for example, a family of brands as Quicksilver is to Roxy and D.C. Shoes. Journey man specialises in the creation of designs and unique one-off/ limited products/ideas/designs, whilst Upcycled With Love
employs design/ illustrative skills to upcycle pre-loved products. Half of all proceeds from UCWL go back into thrift stores.

Street Advertising To advertise the event moreso and to help out a few of the needy, Jouorney Man will ask a few homeless people to advertise the event by holding a modified beggars sign. Also a black board will be on site to grab further attention. The reasoning behind this idea is that although many choose to ignore these souls, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not invisible. Hopefully some illustrative design will help catch someones eyes long enough
for them to donate some change and to have a look at our chalk board. In return for the favor, Journey Man will present them a new set of clothes, upcycled from vinnies articles, and some spending money in the form of a gift card.
