SIMPLE PRODUCT DESIGN
About the Project
The following project is the journey of understanding the basic struggles
faced by people daily and in return, providing a solution for it. The expected
outcome/solution is supposed to be minimalistic in nature and has to contain
the least amount of components. The desired outcome was achieved through
an extensive research work done on the premises of following certain proce-
dures which is otherwise known as the design process. Following these steps,
an output with minimal and simple components was yielded as per the expec-
tations of this project. Thus goal of producing a Simple Product Design was
achieved.
Understanding Simple

Break down and Definitions

Simple Simple Product Design


Simple is a word that signifies something It is an analytical process that relies on a problem-solving ap-

uncomplicated, effortless, and painless. sic struggles faced by the people daily and correct it in an equally
simple way.

The goal of a simple design is that it’s easy to use. Simple and
plain aren’t synonymous when it comes to product design, be-
cause simple is about functionality and plain is about the senses.
Simple can be plain, or it can be engaging.

decorated or elaborate and is simple or or-
dinary in character. It is basic, modest, and
unsophisticated.
Project Objective
Aim of the Project
The aim of the project is to create a product with sim-
ple characteristics, and that which solves a basic, but
persistent and alarmiming problem using the least
amount of components.

Requirements of the Product


It should be easy to operate and manufacture, and the
learning curve of the product should not affect the ex-
isting user bahaviour. The final output should be inex-
pensive as per the materials and manufacturing.

Goals
The primary focus is to get a mature output by the end
of the project. A steep learning curve should be reflect-
ed by the output which can be considered as a ‘simple
product.’ Feasibility and incorporation into daily lives is
the desired result.
Area Selection
Why School Life?
The topics had to be selected on the basis where a vast num-
ber of activities could be covered so as to retain the maximum
observations.

The topic area selected was ‘student life’ and similar activities.

Student life is a theme which almost everybody can relate to. It


is something that most people have experienced.

Throughout our school or college lives, we faced certain strug-


gles that we could’ve resolved with make do models, or some-
thing that is better known as ‘jugaad.’

Such problems could’ve been solved temporarily while the


other couldnt be solved at all for there were no resources or
direction.

Such peeving problems can be corrected through this process


of designing perfect solutions.
Passive problems faced
by school children
Categorisation and explanation
The categories were created on the basis of activites performed
during student life. These activites were selected from different
fields such as labs or sports, etc.

Sports Eating
Lack of Equipment Hygiene and time management

school. It means that students lack proper equipment which could ies and do whatever they feel like doing. Although lunch breaks are

the school. The short period of the lunch break offers very little time
to eat food and play at the same time.
Grooming
Moreover, maintaining hygiene during lunch break is a major life-
Lack of education on grooming style problem
A lot of students as well as teachers and parents do not realise the
importance of proper grooming of school children. Throughout the
heavy activites of the day, the children can appear dull by the end of
the day, which might lead to a decrease in performance.

Writing
Cleanliness
Clean writing habits lead to a better work and study life which stay
with you for the rest of your life. Clean work can only arise from a
clean environment and clean habits.
Problem Identification
Based on reasearch and observation
The following problems were found after observing the lives
of students. The problems were categorised based on their
source of origins.

Concept Inspiration
KODAMA

Every product requires some form of inspiration. Having


indulged in the local folklores of many cultures, I chose
the mystical Kodama tree spirit of the Japanese folklore.
The Kodama are a sign of a healthy, safe and thriving
forest. Taking inspiration from their form, shape, and
their cultural representation, I inculcated their charac-
teristics into the ideation part.

Kodama is my attempt at creating a uni-body sharpener
that serves the purpose of a clean sharpening experience.
The idea behind this product is to introduce long lasting/du-
rable sharpeners that one can associate with the brand and
its delivery.

Though this sharpener has a minimal design language, it


aims to appeal to all potential masses with its unsofistcated
process of usage, unlike what many other high-end statio-
nery brands market.

Materials Used
Main Body

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). It is common-


ly used in many manufacturing processes because it
is lightweight, tough and impact resistant. Children’s
building blocks are commonly made from ABS.

Sharpening Blade

The blade of a pencil sharpener is usually made of stain-


less steel. Stainless steel is an alloy of steel and chromi-
um. This composition makes it resistant to rust, stain
and corrosion.
Overview and Product Ideology

Comfortable Experience: The Kodama Sharpener aims to prove that max-


imum performance can be derived from even the most simple designed
products. Its appeal lies in its universal design and acceptablility of the dif-
ferent generations. Its hassle-free useability process helps it in competing
with some of the leading machanical sharpeners.

Unique Design Language: It provides a solid base for launching a brand


ideology that works on the similar lines of simplicity paired with maixi-
mum performance. It unique enough to culminate into a brand that de-
livers a unique line of stationery.

Core Problem Solved: This project began with the most simple problem
that all of us have faced at some point in our lives - especially those who
are the regular users of pencils. My simple take on redesigning a sharpen-
er reiterates the notion that no one thing is perfect, and can be improved
over time - even a simple product as Sharpener!

Objective - Combining the product baby stroller with a nature driven

inspiration to improve the lifestyle of an infant.

Reason - Resource management is important because of the process of pre-

planning, scheduling, and allocating your resources to maximize efficiency.

Biomimcry

The Idea behind it

Living organisms have evolved well-adapted structures and materials over

geological time through natural selection. Humans have looked at nature for

answers to problems throughout our existence, for it had solved engineering

problems such as self-healing abilities, environmental exposure tolerance and

resistance, hydrophobicity, self-assembly, and harnessing solar energy.

Biomimicry offers an empathetic, interconnected understanding of how life

works. The goal is to create products, processes, and policies — new ways of

living — that solve our greatest design challenges sustainably and in solidarity

with all life on earth.

Biomimcry and Design

Circularity, sustainability, regenerative design — it all means that the things

we humans make become a force for restoring air, water, and soil instead of

degrading it. Nature uses structure to change functions and also uses passive

forms of energy, whereas our inventions use brute force like mining ancient

carbon and a multitude of harmful chemicals. We can create conditions

conducive to life, just like nature does.

The Benefits of baby strollers

Convenient transportation — Baby prams and strollers

allow for easy transportation of babies and infants.

Safety Features — The baby stroller comes with many

advanced safety features for the baby. As a result, you do

not need to worry about the safety of your baby.

Harmful UV Ray Protection — The baby strollers offer a

canopy for providing your baby a shield. For better

protection, you can choose the best umbrella stroller with

bigger canopy for your baby as well.

Biomimicry Inspiration

Kangaroo

All kangaroos have short hair, powerful hind legs, small

forelimbs, big feet and a long tail. They have excellent

hearing and keen eyesight. Depending on the species,

their fur coat can be red, grey or light to dark brown.

Kangaroos are famous for their means of locomotion:

hopping! They can reach speeds of 60kph, clearing more

than 8m with a single hop!

Their muscular tail is used for balance when hopping, and

as another limb when moving about. They also use their

tail when swimming; that’s right – kangaroos are good

swimmers! They swim to avoid predators, and can use

their forepaws to drown pursuers.

Kangaroos are famous for their forward-opening pouch,

where the joey (baby kangaroo) develops and suckles. A

female kangaroo is known as a 'flyer' or a 'doe' and a male

kangaroo a 'buck' or a 'boomer' (hence the nickname of

the Australian men's basketball team, the Boomers). They

live in social groups called mobs.

The Body

The inspiration for the foundational skeleton comes

f rom the overall structure of the Kangaroo. The

structre is meant to contain all the importan bodies

that are the essence of the product.

Two additional bags can be placed at the back of the

stroller with a hook. This option provides for more

storage space without compromising the body and

making the main body bulkier.

The bottom compartment of the Skeleton acts as a

holder for the main bag that carries all the neccessary

baby care items as well as personal items. The bag is

shielded by the skeleton itself f rom daily obstacles

The Pram is an important body of the product. The

Pram is a precursor to the stroller, which means that it

is used for infants f rom new borns, upto the age of the

The Pram is one of the modular aspects of this

product in a way that it can be fitted over the bottom

skeleton and removed when the child grows up, and

be replaced by the stroller which is for older children.

The body of the Pram is reinforced with a sturdy grid

on the side, which also contains the sliding cover for

Product Name: Kerchak Bath Oil, Rawrub


About the product:

The objective is to inspire men to become aware of their hygiene by bringing them closer to the raw,
and primitive side of their nature, and help them explore, and boost their masculinity. Modern men
are behind women in terms of personal hygiene and basic grooming. The female beauty industry has
caused women jump ahead of men in terms of basic appearance. This ‘JUMP’ has caused a gap be-
tween the two genders in the said categories. Today, although men attempt to improve their physical
appearance, they tend to overlook the most important aspect of their bodies – the facial imbalance.
Bath Oil are intended to hydrate and improve the basic skin, which gets deteriorated easily in this mod-
ern lifestyle.
Brand Logo

About the logo:

The logo represents the face of a young male. It is made up of a simplistic contour lines,
to depict a sort of semi-abstract approach. This was done in order to leave the rest of
the features of the face to be left upon the imagination of the viewers.
Colours Used on the Packaging

Primary Colour: #5fb727

Green color was chosen to represent a raw and natural side of the product and the
packaging.

Secondary Colour: #3fffec

This bright cyan was used to create soothing and calming affect on the eyes, and to as-
sociate the product with nature as well as cleanliness.

Tertiary Colour: #0000ff

This shade of dark blue was chosen as it creates a sense of mystery in the product gives

Understanding the tech

behind the existing product

Basic Fuctionality

When the kettle is turned on, a large electric current flows through the coil,
or the ‘heating element’.
The coil has an electrical resistance (a measure of the difficulty to pass
an electric current through it). This resistance turns electrical energy into
heat as it passes through coil.
The heat brings the water inside it to boiling point.
Some kettles use a thermostat, which prompts them to switch off when
the water reaches the right temperature.

Heating Efficiency

With 1 liter (roughly 1 kilogram, 2.2 lbs) of cold water at about 10°C (50°F)
and you want to raise it 90°C to its boiling point (100°C or 212°F). The
amount of energy you need is 4.2 × 1000 grams × 90 degrees = 378,000
joules or 378 kJ
The mysterious "4.2" is a constant value called the specific heat capacity
of water. Every material has a different specific heat capacity, which is
simply the amount of energy you have to put in to raise the temperature
of one gram of the material by one degree centigrade.

Market Study
Size and Demographics
The rising importance of resource management including oil and
gasoline is expected to shift to eco-friendly electric kettle. The
growing working population has led to the need to save cooking
time, which is promoting instant cooking sector. Young consumers
prefer to purchase this product for a hassle-free water boil process.

Rising working population, and changing consumer preferences


towards energy-saving technologies. Moreover, growth in the trend
