After feedback with jen we decided we needed to make the bag more specific with women. A design and concept that women could identify with easily and acknowledge. We didn't think we had though out the previous bag design properly. We came up with the idea of having a fanny pack/carry bag design that is discrete and secured to the womens body via adjustable straps and buckles. This new design will have a more feminine touch and personal connection. The colours will be pink based. The new design will be made locally at a efficient price thats makes our product cycle more controllable and sustainable. These are some inspiration images of the look below   The simple construction of the fanny pack takes only 3 pattern pieces and 12 lines of stitching. It’s big enough for us to fill with essential hygiene items such as pads, tampons, tissues, wipes etc as well as hold money and other odds and ends that a homeless women might need. It stays out of the way, doesn't bou...

 I did these design specs on illustrator.  They are just initial designs for now and ideas Design 1: Design 1 has a convertible look. It has a paper bag design and adjustable strap which can be altered an manipulated to change the look of the design.  It also has a bellow front pocket for secure storage and a mesh insert on the side edge to carry drink bottles. I designed this bag because I thought about how homeless people are always on the go and usually move around alot. With this in mind I figured that having a bag that was practical and easy to carry in multiple ways was a great design to use for the homeless. Design 2: Various designs These designs are all similar and use the concept of adjustable straps too.They all can be rotated around and changed to suit the needs of the carrier.

For promotional purpose we decided that we really want to make tote bags that is sold in supermarkets to raise awareness and funds for the supplies in the homeless women kits. We came up with the idea that these will be in yellow, green and blue as they are symbolic of our local wellington environment. We are not sure if we will have individual colours but no matter the outcome we want to highlight these as brand motifs. Yellow The yellow will symbolise people and positivity. It also is a commonly used colour of events and organisations associated with wellington. Positively wellington and wellington city council use a-lot of yellow to symbolise wellington. It would be cool to follow along the lines of this. Blue  The blue represents the famous blue wellington sky and will also symbolise the wellington harbour.  Green The green symbolises the luscious flora and fauna surrounding us as well as the bi...

These are some existing example of blessing bags and survival kits for homeless people. They are filled with the essentials and vital necessities to help those in need. As a group we want to do something similar to this but add our own individual touch on it.

Some examples of bag designs that we could use as inspiration for our bag designs. They range from drawstring bags to waterproof, durable and light reflective materials. We also will look at colours. The design part of our concept needs to be strong and prominent. 

Project Winter Survival SINCE 1999, Project Winter Survival and our team of volunteers & donors have assembled and distributed over 24,000 Winter Survival Kits. These kits provide warmth and essential supplies needed for the homeless and less fortunate to survive on the streets. These kits often make the difference between life and death. Every year, Project Winter Survival distributes survival kits to over 150 frontline social service agencies and outreach programs; the survival kits are given to Toronto’s homeless population. Project Winter Survival does not directly hand out survival kits to individual homeless people; instead they donate them to the true experts — agencies and outreach people – who often use them as communication tools to start conversations so that they can help the homeless. Ultimately, their goal is to drive these conversations toward encouraging homeless people to seek refuge in shelters, but the survival kits are available to those who are ...
