Revisions to practical response proposal & brief, based on the peer feedback from last week.

In regards to the practical proposal, I was aware that I was possibly giving myself a bit too much to make, but I did want to consider a range of different tangible mediums to produce the work on. So rather than proposing 5 different character print designs, with 5 different laser-cut keyrings, with 5 different wall hanging designs etc, Fred suggested I develop and propose all 5 different character packages, but only physically make one of them. The 'package' idea is a great shout, and has already given me ideas for other items of merchandise I could add to each Luchador character package, including stationary and action, prints & figures, exactly the sort of thing I'd get hyped about shopping for, or ordering from the WWF catalog when I was a young fan in the 80's/90's. 

I'm probably getting a bit ahead of myself with the action figures mind you, but also not.I'm looking into it!
