Tech Pack + Takeaways
-
Realized that paper models are invaluable when addressing size questions
-
Learned that stopping and reflecting between each phase of prototyping helped me to slow down and assess what I wanted to most address next
-
Discovered it fits perfectly under the seat on an airplane!
-
Plan on making a prototype out of the production material, as well as adding a lining and more inner pockets for additional storage of small items
-
Zippers DO NOT curve (no matter how much you wish they might)
