Another amazing idea, that is extremely fun to do are to create paper toys. This link is a wonderful website that allows you to download free pdf's of already designed toys that you can make at home. I found that the characters are very entertaining, along with the colour pallets that accompany them. When I  first came across this type of design it began to inspire a lot of my ideas and thoughts towards packaging. How to make my packaging more interesting to look at from all angles, what colours to use, and to always remember to make it just as "fun" as Matt Hawkins has done with simple paper toys! way to go, I love it !
