Little Box Of Ideas

  Day 62 – Mudee Ever wished you had a magic pot that would yield anything you wanted? Gold, toys, exotic fruits, brownies, nintendos and ipods? Mudee is a magic pot but he has a problem. He grows and coughs up the weirdest things on the planet. Riko is not going to be happy with

  Day 61 – Marko Marko the thinker is Balor’s trusty sidekick in the thought nation of Thinkatania. He is brilliant, well-versed in 11 languages, a chess addict, flute maestro and an amazing thought flyer. There is nothing he can do .. well except one thing. He can’t fly pizza dough like his friend Kommenti.

  Day 60 – Sid Sid is a seedling. One minute he was happily napping in the ground, cocooned by wet dark soil and the next he was being rudely pulled out of the ground. And he had barely grown a branch and sprouted a leaf! He is now worried that he is going to

  Day 59- Hut The idea for a dog kennel that sprung to life and walked away with the dog in it, came to me when I first made Orbi and spun a tale about her trying to abduct a poodle from Earth.  Orbi is sent on a mission to abduct a poodle from the

  Day 58- Ma Tundra I wanted to make a tall, slender, skinny character. So I did. It was nice for a change to have a total lack of facial features, especially the eyes. As I sat staring at her alien characteristics, I thought of Orbi and how well this character would tie in with

  Day 57- Fis There is a little tank on Riko’s study table and another of her crazy pet lives in there. His name is Fis. He is not a fish, nor a frog. Riko and Bark found him on one of their adventures. He was the strangest little creature they had seen who needed

In the past few months, I have read quite a few logo design processes and stowed them away in my mind for a post just like this one. Barring the ones I remembered from the top of my head, I googled the words "logo design process", "brand creation process", "rebranding case studies" and a few

  Day 56- Al Al is an alarm clock that eats time. He lives on Riko’s dresser and eats sometimes small, sometimes big chunks of time out of her day. And she always end up wondering where the time went. He is a naughty clock and deserves the bonk on the head he gets from

  Day 55 – Tinka On most days, I find making the character the easiest part of my daily exercise. It is the short storyline accompanying it that seems to become harder and harder to come up with. At times, I am almost tempted to leave the story out. But that would be breaking the

  Day 54 – Papo I initially start making a magnifying glass character and even finish making one but no matter what I do, I can’t think of a decent storyline for it. So I scrap the idea and start afresh. Using the magnifying glass I made, I end up with Papo. I realize how

  Day 53- Pfifer I am thinking of pears today. Don’t ask why. There is an old, shrivelled pear in my fruit basket, but I am thinking of plump green ones. So I start making one in Illustrator and it turns out looking really nutters. And because it is a fruit, it is very easy

  Day 52- Balor   Inspector Balor is the traffic police chief of Thinkatania. He also carries a supply of extra hot air to revive floundering Thinkers who float high in the skies of the Thought Nation. His trusty sidekick is Marko the Thinker, who also happens to be Kommenti’s best friend. Time Taken :

  Day 51- Mr Wattson I am getting quite irritated with those yellow bulbs in my living room that keep popping every other day. We have 8 wall fixtures and it is like playing Whacka-molee. The only reason we cant have the long lasting energy saver bulbs is because of the fixture attachments. Ah well

  Day 50- Sokkaman I have at least 4 huge baskets of clean laundry to fold away. It seems like we may be buying clothes rather than folding away the washed ones. I have always found it amusing how socks find their way to the bottom of the laundry basket. When you are done folding
