The strategy behind this design is to make the process of design as visible and celebrated as the final product. By using blueprint inspired elements such as measurement lines, scale notations, and geometric framing devices, the composition highlights the scaffolding behind creativity.

The “SOD” lettering anchors the design in a bold and legible form, while the surrounding annotations, dimensions, and directional text suggest the iterative work that goes into every project. Rather than hiding the behind-the-scenes tools, the tote embraces them as necessary aspect to the visual language.
