Ariel Cotton Industrial Design Computer Art Supply Bag

The objective of this project was to identify a ritual in my life that could use improvement. I carry a notebook, pens, markers and my laptop with me almost everywhere, but I did not have a computer case sufficient enough to carry them all in a comfortable manner.

The design I came up with contained a flap that could be attached to the bag with magnets and used to hold extra books. The flap has lots of little loops for holding markers and pens.

I selected patterns and colors from Mood Fabrics that fit my personal tastes.
