How to...research BAGS THROUGHOUT THE 20th & 21st CENTURY.

Open a Powerpoint or WORD document. The title page should be: BAGS THROUGHOUT THE 20th & 21st CENTURY.
Use the GOOGLE link at the top right hand corner of this blog ( Google Images Search Engine ) to enter the following requests: bags from 1900's, bags from 1910's, bags from 1920's, bags from 1930's, bags from 1940's, etc, etc.
Write down the make and/or designer. What do you feel about the bag? Do you like it? Is it practical? How could you use this in a design of your own?
Now design a bag of your own using SERIF DRAW, PAINT or PRODESKTOP considering how you could use a particular period of history to influence your 21st Century style. Why not use two different eras? E.g. 40's mixed with 80's?
