Quick Pack Luggage
During semester 1 of 2019 we were tasked with designing a product that could help address one of the leading factors contributing to homelessness. I chose to address domestic violence as one of the leading causes of homelessness. We were also tasked with incorporating Application Transfer Design (ATD) into the design. ATD is where the principle from something it taken and incorporated into the design.
I developed the quick pack luggage. A suit case with a telescoping lid and inflatable cushioning and shelves designed to protect fragile objects while being packed quickly and without care.
The ATD incorporated into the quick pack luggage was the principle underpinning the functioning of the human lungs, the inflation and deflation of the lungs due to the change in pressure of the diaphragm.
The model was created using paper, glue and string. The analogue renders were created using pigment liners, Copic markers and fineliners. The presentation material was created using Adobe Illustrator.
