Drawstring Bag

The next step in Year 9 Textiles is designing and constructing a drawstring bag. Designing a drawstring bag requires some research, planning, and concept development. You can find the brief and specifications below.


BRIEF
Students at Fairfield College are getting sick of carrying their sports shoes around in their backpack. On many occasions, student’s books are getting dirty, their lunch is getting squashed, and their bag’s smell! As a designer, you are required to design a drawstring bag that will fit a pair of sports shoes. It needs to reflect your individual style.

Specifications
·         It must have a pocket
·         Have at least 1 stencil design
·         Have at least 1 applique


Have you used PowerPoint before? Now's a great time to learn! You will be creating storyboards to show research about drawstring bags and the things that are quintessentially you!


Using PowerPoint to create a Storyboard
1.   Open up Microsoft PowerPoint
2. Save your PowerPoint to My Documents as: Drawstring Bag’s Storyboard (this will also be your title).
3. Be creative and make your title colourful/bold/a different shape.
4. Open up Chrome to begin your research of Drawstring Bag Images.
5. Save at least 8 images to the desktop (you could also take screen shots).
6. Insert these images into PowerPoint, making them look effective by using different shapes/borders/sizes.
7. Make sure you save as you go!
8. Print off in colour when complete.
9. Stick this into your Textiles book.

Things to consider when researching Drawstring Bags:
-     A range of colours and sizes
-     Prints/patterns
-     Different fabrics
-     Embellishments (tassels/frills/pockets/buttons/zips etc.)
Look for Drawstring bags that stand out, ones you really like the look of. You can have more than 8 pictures, but you need to be able to see them all when placed on the PowerPoint.

Now you are required to create a new PowerPoint slide that is all about you. What colours do you like?  Do you have a favourite sport? Is there a particular brand that you like to wear? Save images or take screen shots to add to your All about Me storyboard.
