Graphic Design Brief
Generally, I'm looking to have my ideas below crafted into a professional looking, concept that can be manipulated to represent the many Nudibranchs in the Ocean.
In the uploaded sample images that I've created, you'll see fun designs of Nudibranchs as "Mugshots". Nudibranchs are beautiful sea slugs found all over the coral reefs. Of the designs that I have uploaded you can also see at the top their scientific names as well as an "alias" if they have one.
I designed these as the backside of coffee mugs for my brand; hence the idea for "mugshots". The idea is to create a caricature of the various nudibranchs as if they've been arrested and had their photos taken. I want them to have a similar style regardless of the nudibranch chosen so that I can have more made in the future. Think of a "collection" where customers can buy or collect mugs based off of their favorite Nudi. I'd like it to pair favorably with the Business logo which I'll post below as well.
Additional info: The mug I currently have selected as the printable medium has two separate sections on the front and backside. One side will have the logo while the other will have the "Mugshot". However, If you feel strongly that you can make a "wrap-around" style image using the two I can opt for a different mug for the image. I'll leave this element up to your judgment.
If you need reference to the specific Nudibranch, the names of each will be at the top of each image. Googling them will provide you with many examples to choose from. Keep in mind, all Nudibranchs have two key traits. 1. The two protrusions on their head are "rhinophores" or their eyes. 2. The Cerata or the Gill/lung on their back. These two coupled with their distinct colors/print should be considered.
If I've left anything out, feel free to message means I'll answer any questions you need in order to work on this project.
Thank you.

Requirements
Must have
- Height chart in the background with markings relative to their size, number placard, scientific name above and elements of Coral /ocean where they might be found.
Nice to have
- I'm looking for an appealing style that can be reproduced with the various nudibranchs. I'm not sure how you would do it, but if you could incorporate elements of coffee (cappuccino, latte, black coffee etc.) without losing the main idea that would be cool. Even if its subtle and hidden within the image. There are over 3000 Nudibranchs so, potentially much work for the winner.
Should not have
- Not overly cartoony.
