Packaging Design Brief
I have a prototype coffee mug that needs to come to life. I would like you to examine pictures of the prototype and decide what kind of designs (patterns or colors) that would have mass appeal for a launch design. I may consider two or three launch designs. Keep in mind this is a porcelain product and I prefer if you keep simple, don't get too detailed or intricate. I'm not going to influence your design by suggesting colors so let the mug design influence your work. The proposed design or designs will be posted online as part of a Kickstarter project to raise capital for the first order of mugs. If you're capable I'd like you to super impose the graphic onto the supplied images, but that is NOT a requirement. Keep in mind the manufacture of this type of porcelain mug limits how and when we can glaze etc so the graphics should be restricted to a band around the mug that stops on either side of the handle. The height (from lip of mug and bottom of mug) is still to be determined so use your judgement, we can adjust as needed.
Strive for contemporary design, colors again this initial product launch will be limited to either 1 or two designs. Please ask plenty of questions.
Updates
Project Deadline Extended
Reason: Okay - thank you for some of your submissions. I've seen some quality designs but I feel I need a wider array to choose from. I've decided I will extend the deadline as well as guarantee the project. This will give time for some of you to rework your ideas and perhaps come up with new ones. Thank you for your participation.
