Initial ideas and concepts

Before embarking on the insecticide sprayer design I wanted to create a backpack that would be carried on the back of aid workers. These hard-case backpacks would contain a number of compartments that held mosquito nets, malaria test kits and malaria medication. This backpack would also feature an insecticide tank and sprayer.

This is the image that inspired the backpack idea with multiple compartments and many different components.






Why I did not pursue this idea:
The reason being was I felt that the backpack was a product with too many parts. A product within a product within a product. I wanted my final product to be more focused and refined. Having to concentrate on 5 or more products would involve too much research and end up with a diluted final outcome.
