Bag Design One-Year Course (n.1)

Week1 : Bag design course
Monday 02.09.2019
The class started with the introduction of the course by our teacher Prof. Veronica.
She interviewed each student about their background and their goal for the course. I have seen that there are many students from all around the world attending this class.
I have introduced myself that I have worked as a bag designer before in Thailand but I would like to learn the effective design process and work more creatively. She had me take a look in some trend books and see if I find anything interesting as an inspiration for my collection as a starting point. We discussed what is my main theme and who is my main target customer group. Imagine what is her life style and her routine so I can have an idea what kind of bag would suit her life style.
