name that molecule

i made a tote bag out of waterproof canvas that consists of a conveniently located periodic table printed on one side, and a game called ‘name that molecule’ on the other.

process:

i sketched out a quick pattern in rhino and exported to AI to lasercut a prototype in butcher paper

once the pattern was validated i selected a handful of molecular images and found a beautiful periodic table to use

the AI pattern was then imported into Pshop for layout

and printed on waterproof canvas

the material was then doubled over and cut out.

the doubled canvas was a little cumbersome to sew, but it provided stability and functioned perfectly as interior lining to the bag.
