The first part of the project is the material research into the subject above shoulders. I focused my area around the neck because I think the neck is an important area above your shoulders. In that area the neck brace is a product that need to be re-designed. The Cool Neck Brace is an adjustment on the existing neck brace. This version is more comfortable to wear, because it is less hot (especially during summer months), it is less thick, so it is easier to wear underneath every day clothes and it looks a lot nicer. The Cool Neck Brace is available in different color schemes, in three different heights of collar and three different widths. Also a cover design is made for different occasions, from posh to casual.
