The structure of this Crit meant that we all had an informal discussion about peoples ideas at this early stage in the brief. Two ideas that really caught my imagination were a conversation starter based around tea and a games manual in the form of playing cards or similar.
The tea conversation starter idea seemed to grow rapidly as we talked about it as a group. It started out as a mug with print on the side and developed into news stories on the inside of paper cups used at cafe branches. This way the designs could be shaped to a brand and really contextualised and shown to be useful and applicable. The idea also emerged to put different stories at different stage in the cup so that as you drink and time passes you are given more to talk about. I love this idea and cannot wait to see what is produced.
The other idea was something to inform people about all the different card games that exist. Something that was mentioned and really interested me was including small sheets of pop out counters that can be used in place of money. This sounds like it could be expanded to some other things, so that what is produced is almost a games pack in its self.
