I was just looking through different design sites and blogs and I kept coming across many different shopping bag designs that were extremely quirky and eye catching and it made me want to delve into this genre of design more to see what I could come up with, and here are just a minute few of the many I found:
The brass knuckle bag design for Clothes In Closets, was the first bag I came across and I was instantly extremely excited about the design. How quirky and different is it? If I saw someone carrying this bag in the street I would go straight to the shop and buy something, anything, just so I too could own one of these bags. It was designed by Leo Burnett Lisbon ad agency. The idea behind the brass knuckles was to apparently protect the garments inside the bag from others, which is quite a humorous design solution. The black against the silver too make it quite sophisticated even with the violent knuckles, it’s urban, street, chic.
This is an extremely smart design for a turkish department store chain; YKM. You do not usually see the strap of a bag being taken into consideration when a bag is being designed, it is usually an after thought and is only ever there for its function, so this is such a beautifully thought out design. It is such a sophisticated design. I love how the user interacts with the design, to provide motion to the photograph of the woman jumping over a jump rope.
This is an extremely clever and humorous design. It instantly catches your eye. It is for a German company; Stop’n Grow is a bag that is primarily for advertising the product and it’s supposed to look like a hand being bitten. I could not find the name of the company whom designed this bag, so if anyone could tell me their name I would greatly appreciate it as I would love to see more of their work.
This is a hard hitting design that would instantly catch your eye as it is such a strange scene to see, especially on the side of a shopping bag. It is for the Red Cross and was designed by Lem advertising agency. It is such a powerful statement and out of all of the bags I looked at, this is the one that hit me the most, in terms of the message that is being portrayed. It is not a shameless attempt at grabbing others attention and pulling money out of purses to spend on pointless items, instead it is a statement of life. It is trying to catch the eye of others and trying to provoke interest and feeling inside of them, to ignite interest in the cause of the red cross to help save lives.
As soon as this popped up on my screen it instantly caught my attention. It is a Panadol Shopping Bag, that is supposed to represent a headache. It looks like the mans hair is being pulled as the subject throws the bag over his back. Again I could not find the master mind behind this design. If anyone knows the designer of this bag please let me know. It is a hilarious design that begs to grab attention, it is so unusual, and extremely quirky, it is interactive design at its finest, incredibly smart and one picture instantly sells the product.
