Bug Bods
Year, 2004
Client. Proposal
Project. Character design
Information. I designed these little chaps with a couple of intentions in mind. Firstly, I envisaged them as small promotional characters which could be branded in corporate livery and used to advertise a brand. Their natural charisma gives them a 'keepability' factor and everyone I asked would love to have a Bug Bod on their desk!
Secondly, inspired by the growing interest in collectable vinyl figures, I figured that they could be individually boxed or blister packed and sold as desirable designer toys
