THEME: Back to School Bag!
DOORS OPEN: Wednesday August 20, 2008 12 PM PST (7 PM GMT)
DOORS CLOSE: Monday, Sept 1, 2008 9 PM PST (4 AM GMT)
BRIEF: It's back-to-school time...back to lugging books, art supplies, sports gear, and kegs around campus. Core77 is firing up this month's 1HDC just in time for the daily grind of school. We want to see what kind of over-the-shoulder carrying mechanism you can come up with. Knapsack? Shoulder bag? Book bag? Messenger bag? Hybrid? You tell us! We've enlisted the talents of the Timbuk2 design team to guest judge this month's gig. So pull that Rocko Ruler and Prismacolors out of your ratty backpack and take an hour to put your work up in front of the Timbuk2 crew and all your peers for the chance at this month's bragging rights and a sweet custom Timbuk2 bag!
CRITERIA: Judging will be based on quality of presentation, strength of concept. (You need to execute your design in only 1 hour--on an honor system.)
PRIZE: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners will be featured in the Core77 October Newsletter, on the Core77 Blog, and bragging rights. 1st prize will receive a Custom Timbuk2 bag, with custom fabrics and trim!
Jury: Winners will be selected by the Timbuk2 Crew and Core77 Admin. From Timbuk2: Bopanna Ulliyada, Senior Designer; Chris Chung, Head Developer; and Ryan Henbest, Marketing. Community discussion is encouraged to help ensure that the best designs win.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, all designers, PLEASE, make a bag to fit my f'ing beast of a 17" MacBook pro. I'm horrifically sick of seeing "Fits up to 15.4" laptops!" GREAT, I'll just put my usb flash drive in there and balance my MacBook on my head!
Also, my current bag has a million and one pockets, but stacks them all on top of one-another, so if you fill one pocket, you've occupied all the space allotted to three pockets. PLEASE, designers, PLEASE, don't make a pocket unless it has been allotted it's own space.
That being said, design away. Thanks a bunch! ;D
