DESIGN NAME: Bindship
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Binder clip
INSPIRATION: When it comes to a binder clip, nobody thinks that as a valuable thing. In addition, usually people don’t really care about a design when they use it. So when this project started, the first step was aiming to make a package someone can buy it as a gift. Therefore, the project focused on making a refined brand image.
And 3 keywords(relationship, combine,value) was selected about the brand. When you combine something with Bindship, it makes special relationship and value.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Bindship is a binder clip brand aiming to find the hidden value in a simple thing and cherish it. Something in daily life would be binded by Bindship, and therefore it builds a more special relationship than ever before. Also, Bindship provides not only different sizes but also different pressures of binder clips. There are 3 different pressures of clip so that buyers can choose depending on how many papers they are going to bind. It can help to prevent remaining trace of a clip on the paper.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Bindship provides not only different sizes but also different pressures of binder clips.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: I first conducted market research to see in what way and what kind of package usually binder clips sold. In addition, I did survey about what kind of image people have about a binder clip. Also, I asked people what they feel uncomfortable when they use a binder clip. According to the survey, I found that people think a binder clip as a trivial thing and they don’t really care about a design when they use it.
Eventually, through the research I derived a thought which concept I should decide. I planned to design a binder clip brand having a refined image.
CHALLENGE: This project was my personal design. It was impossible to make goods on a mass production basis and therefore it costed a lot to start up for making small batches. Also it made some restrictions to make what I exactly intended.
