Mug box mock-up

As I made the mock-up I realised I had made a very stupid error with the design, one of the sides of the net was in completely the wrong place as can be seen from the photo of the mock up, other than that only a few tweaks are needed as I am happy with the design itself.

Mug box development

Mug box ideas...

I have decided to present the mug I designed so need a presentation box / package to explain its use as a heat sensitive mug.

Final crit...

Final crit... well its been an epic journey, Can't believe I am finally at this moment in my degree. It has come round so fast. I look back at my progress from the start of the course and I think... What the hell was I doing haha. I hope in 3 more years I will grow as a designer and think exactly the same about my work now.

Any way down to the nitty gritty, I asked for feedback mainly on my boards as I was in a position ready to print the final sets the day after the crit (Friday).

Some quick notes I joted down:

  • scale down logo images on Ted Baker board
  • Ted Baker - packaging, align the photographs so they meet together at the top of the page.
  • Cosmos and culture board - leaflet - align images in a sequence.
  • wwf board - development tighten the images together so they are less spread out.
So pretty simple changes there but make the boards look a whole lot better layout wis.


I also got some feedback on my context book, I showed a mock-up as my final booklet hadn't come back from the printers yet. It was suggested that because the front cover titles The Big Issue I should have an outer sleeve made from newspaper and screen printed to tie in with the concept of the big issue handed out in the street.

I looked into this, however because I am pregnant It makes screen printing a no go really, especially when there is only a week left. All due to health and safety.

I am hoping that the final printed book won't need a wrap or sleeve cover anyway so fingers crossed when the book comes back.
