The Inventory Sling
I was briefed to design a bag for gamers.
But cool enough to wear if you aren’t one.
Brand Identity
We spent time on outlining some guiding design principles for the brand and for the design of the bag.
Sketching
I sketched out some initial ideas on the shape of the bag, more of a rectangle to fit a portable gaming console. But I wanted to add another compartment to keep things organized and secure. The client also wanted to stitch in an adapter mechanism so consumers could snap in the product to the bag.
We also added details such as our gaming “taco” to hold the device in the main pocket and protect the screen / joysticks. YKK waterproof zipper on the top and zip placket for protection. Removable strap in case you don’t want to wear it as a bag. A cable charging pass through, for charging on the go. Also cant forget pockets for your switch games!
