Case-In-Point

It has been decided...I am making a laptop case out of plastic bags. I will iron several layers of bags together to make the cushioning for protection. Then there will be an outer layer that incorporates the many different colors of plastic bags into a design. Right now I'm thinking either a zipper closure or a buckle/snap closure because I absolutely hate having a velcro closure. Today I collected a bunch of images of already existing cases: some good ones, some heinous ones...even one made of chopsticks!

I also started working on making effective cushioning. The padding is key in my design so I will spend next week finding the perfect solution.

I spent about 15 hours in and out of class this week working on things.
