from the data that we collected we concluded that a majority of people don’t know how to hold, handle, or use an axe properly. form, grip, and swing are the most vital components when handling an axe.

Not only for effeciancy but for safety as well. a well accurate hit to a tree is well preferred over a shot to the foot.

and a ha lf s teps .

1) Material (cotton or oil for plastic) is taken from the environment.

2) Cotton or recycled plastic is turned into fabric.

3) Fabric is turned into a bag or tote.

4) Bags are packaged into boxes.

5) Boxes are distributed to selling facilities.

6) Bags are used for carrying purchases.

7) Bags may be washed in the washing machines.

8) The bag may be reused several times but one day will run it’s life out. And it will be disposed of.

How can we in fact redesign the reusable shopping bag?Where can we reduce, reuse or recycle?Despite recycled material and reducing transportation and manufacturing energy, how can we make this bagtruly Simply Green?

By re-using, turning old memories into something usefulthat will be in the user mind and heart always.

By turning old shirts into bags.

We ran a test program at our buildingto see how this idea would pan out.

It was an instant success.

O V E R A L L A N A L Y S I S

The Tag Heuer language is quite ambiguous. It is harsh and bold, yet soft. The material changes are in great contrast.

The brand’s products send a message of complexity, yet simplicity. The watch is a very complicated instrument. Yet, its surroundings are simple and clean, which brings about a focal point right in the face of the watch.

The simple and the complex don’t just contrast, they collaborate in a way that moves the eye over and throughout the product. Eyes follow curves, these curves lead into material changes, and sharp angles and this keeps the viewers eye alive.

Our understanding of the brands language, and the company’s direction provided us with the pefect design opprotunity and I think that our designs were very successful in the sense of re�ecting the merge between design aesthetics and functionality.
