Designer speaks about the design process:
“I start with a design brief - a description of the problem I’m going to solve. In this case, it’s to design a backpack for cross-country skiers. Then I investigate, and do some research about cross-country skiers, the things they need to carry and the weight they find comfortable. I also think about the best choice of material- waterproof, hard - wearing, easy to work with. Next, I sketch different shapes for the backpack and choose what I think is the best solution. I transfer my sketch to a computer to make a proper drawing with all the dimensions in place. Then, I ask a company to realize it and make up some prototypes to test how well it works. Finally, I compare the product with the brief. I evaluate it by asking questions like: Does it meet all the requirements? Can I make it any better, or improve it somehow?”
