  1. Initial ideas: Bags On the following pages are some ideas just to help you get started with designing a range of innovative bags.

  2. Proportion Design strategies: taking everyday inspiration Simple square bag with picture of Wales Millennium Centre on it Using the shape twice so one bag splits to make 2 • It’s not always easy to design. We are going to look at a range of tasks that hopefully will help you in the future. We call these tasks, design strategies. These strategies can be helpful when you are designing any product. We are going to look at the following design strategies: • Morphing • Proportion • Inspiration sources • Off the wall • 2D to 3D

  3. Initial ideas: Bags

  4. Design strategies: Taking a square and morphing it into other shapes to create a bag Cut the top off it. Stretch it! Cut it in half Take a square Squash it! Round the corners Cut the sides Square the base Round it further Cut it in half Using these techniques you can come up with lots of ideas

  5. Design strategies: Taking a square and morphing it into other shapes to create a bag Push it. Turn it around. Take a square Cut into the sides . Cut the sides Make it longer Cut off the sides Squash it Turn it around Round off the corners Cut off the base Stretch it Make it longer Using these techniques you can come up with lots of ideas

  6. Design strategies: Taking a square and morphingit into other shapes to create a bag (sports bag version) Using these techniques you can come up with lots of ideas even for different styles of bags, just add a handles!

  7. Proportion There are general rules about proportion. Something's work better than others. Fill out this page and we’ll explain

  8. When combining fabrics it is important to get the proportion right. Look carefully at the bags above and decide which style you like the best to use as a starting point to begin your bag design. Splitting the bags into thirds will aid you with design work, as it breaks down what will work and look good. This guide can also help when you are placing pockets or decorative features on a bag. Design Proportions Division of three Dividing the bags horizontally Dividing the bags vertically Dividing the bags diagonally

  9. Proportion Splitting the bags into thirds will aid you with design work, as it breaks down what will work and look good. This experimenting with division of third guide. Some designs look good, other cluttered or not just right. Look at the following designs and decide which ones you prefer and think why? Division of three Possible ways of dividing the bag horizontally using the division three guide Possible ways of dividing the bag vertically using the division three guide Possible ways of dividing the bag diagonally using the division three guide Does the guide help with the placement of the pocket?

  10. Design strategies: developing a 3D bag One final design strategy you might like to try is taking a 2D design into 3D. Its not always easy to draw in 3D but look carefully at the uncoloured row of bags opposite and study the step by step way I have worked. Starting point 2D Lets see what you can come up with!!

  11. Design strategies: developing a 3D bag These some examples of how to draw a 3D bag from any shape. What other technique has been used to give the bags a 3D look? Which idea do you like the best? Work by Georgia Aubrey Work by Alice Aubrey

  12. Designers very often get ideas from being inspired by things they look at. They may visit exhibitions, museums, look at books or magazines or even the environment and people around them. In the next page a walk around Cardiff Bay and the Millennium Centre inspired me to draw some bag designs. See what you think!

  13. IN THESE STONES HORIZONS SING Design strategies: taking everyday inspiration Using shape of building A bag inspired by the shape and lettering used in the Wales Millennium Centre. Using the words from the front of the building as inspiration and changing it into a fashion statement Using the shape twice so one bag splits to make 2

  14. Design strategies: taking everyday inspiration as inspiration A bag inspired by the shape and lettering used in the Wales Millennium Centre. Using the words from the front of the building as inspiration and changing them to more bag orientated Using the shape twice so one bag splits to make 2

  15. Design strategies: OFF THE WALL IDEAS Go wild, think outside of the box! Famous designer like Alexander McQueen often think of over the top ideas to make a design statement. Just a bear bag Use your imagination and come up with something completely off the wall

  16. Design strategies: off the wall ideas Quite often we have ideas that no-one can explain. They aredesign ideas from somethingwe are interested in, or just simply things from our imagination. These can be wonderful ideas just look at this guinea pig bag!! From this to this
