IDEATION AND EARLY DRAWINGS

Below are drawings from my concept generation process. My original focus was something that I could open to cool down my coffee without fully taking off the lid while on the bus in the mornings. During our in-class pin up session, a peer suggested that I look into a pivoting design rather than my top design at the time (left), which had a rotating flap that would open/close. The issue with this design was that the bottom of the flap would dip into my coffee when open if the mug was entirely full.
