2. Concepts for Prototyping
J. File Box style (first choice) and D. Vest. The results of the matrix were a little surprising to me. The Messenger Bag was the original solution to my "gap." However, although the score for this is high, I am opting to focus on the "file box" style, because this concept seems to me to be at least a little bit original (there are lots of messenger bags on the market): I'm interested in seeing if the working surface ("desk") is useful. The Vest is kind of interesting, although I'm not sure how to make something more useful or stunning than a standard fisherman's vest.
