1. Which mug collections do you think I should take forward to develop into final designs?
2. Do you think I should use the magic mug effect (when hot water is added the image appears) ?
3. How much information does the packaging need, if the mugs are completely illustration based? should I include facts etc?
4. In the Geometric wallpaper brief I need different things relating to tyres for my patterns to be developed from, so far I have cycle routes, alloys and push bike wheel centres, can you think of any others?
