Page 1: Design Situation and Design Brief
Design Situation:
A local school is having problems with their students keeping their PE kit secure.
Often plastic carrier bags containing PE kits are lost and handed into the lost property, but cannot be identified.
The students have difficulty fitting their kit into their normal school bag, which is why they bring them separately in plastic bags.
The school has decided to have PE kit bags made that all the students will need to purchase. Although all of the bags will be the same shape and size they will need to be quickly and easily identified by the owner and the staff in lost property.
