BRAIN MAP
PRELIMINARY RESEARCH
OBJECTIVE
The objective is to create a product packaging design that combines aspects of biominicry, efficiency, stability, and sustainability. The process breaks down to creating the logo, compiling a business system, and constructing a package for the product.
CONCEPTS
I came up with many different concepts playing around with ideas of the honeycomb shape, the bee wings, the chemical body structure, etc. I thought about what I wanted in the design and tried to expand on what was most important.
INSPIRATION
My inspiration came from my love of geometric jewelry pieces and also the fact that I had sisters in my sorority allergic to bees. Their Epipens were always hard to carry around all the time with you and bulky to keep in your pocket.

BRAIN MAP
A brain map was constructed to help focus in on the brand and the ideas to construct a better branding image and a direction to head towards. Narrowing down to the concept of a wearable epinephrine necklace, I created a map to showcase the attributes most important to the company.

LOGO PROTOTYPES
DIGITAL MOCKUPS These are a few explorations I’ve come up with for the logo. I decided on a 3D shape because it creates a nice optical illusion and adds a dimensional quality to a flat, planar icon.
As for colors, it was agreed upon that harsher contrasts such as the logo prototype on the bottom left would create more chaos and uneasiness to the user. The logo is supposed to symbolize freedom, help, and beauty. It is supposed to free the user of any fear of the outdoors and of bees. In order to maintain this peaceful, calm message, the logo needs to embody that. The colors were finalized with example on the bottom right, having a light mustardy yellow for the top and a tame, tannish brown for the bottom.

FINALIZED LOGO
An implied 3 dimensional diamond acts as the front of PHRIND. It is not only a diamond, but also a double edge sword to play off the irony of combating a bee sting with a needle. The lines on the logo represent the strength in a bee’s horizontal stripes and the 3d aspect plays off of a jewel’s form. It is beautiful and powerful.

DIGITAL MOCK-UPS I decided on a triangular product to mimic the overall theme and style I have based around the logo. The biomimicry is the bee’s stinger. The stinger is a vessel to hold venom and the PHRIND package is a vessel to hold the antidote.

ABOUT THE COMPANY BACKGROUND
NEEDS
PHRIND is a jewelry-medical company that creates wearable doses of epinephrine. It is meant to be worn by those who are lethally allergic to bee stings and is meant to act as a fashionable piece that is added seamlessly and beautifully to any outfit. The necklace has a small, but potent amount of epinephrine encapsulated in a light-weight, portable container to curb a patient over until the paramedics arrive.
Bees, an insect which pollinates our flowers and brings honey to our tables, coexist with humans in the city, suburbs, and countryside. Because of their abundant population size and close proximity to us, the possibility of getting stung by one is unsurprisingly high. This creates a huge risk for those allergic to their venom and could cause the individual to develop anaphylaxis (a lethal body reaction). Currently on the market, most products available for patients allergic to bee stings come in the form of a bulky, pen-like container (EpiPen) or an expensive, talking box (Auvi-Q). These are inconvenient to carry around all the time and are not easily stored.
OBJECTIVE The objective is to market a necklace containing enough epinephrine to save an individual from anaphylaxis until the paramedics arrive. The necklace should be light-weight, made of recyclable plastic, contains a needle that is securely hidden but can be activated upon request, and the epinephrine should be replacable whenever it is used. This will not only reduce the amount of material epinephrine pens waste with pens being disposed of after every use. In order to market this necklace, a clean and calming branding strategy should be made. It is a jewelry piece, but it is also placed in a professional, medical setting where it must be promising for a doctor to recommend or prescribe to a patient. It should also reduce a carbon footprint made by its competitors by using replacable capsules made of recycled plastic and a packaging that uses minimal amount of material.
AUDIENCE The targeted audience is women ages 16+. High school girls Travelers/explorers/cosmopolitans Collegians Young-preppy women middle to upper middle class

PRODUCT STRATEGY This project’s marketing campaign will consist of marketing the necklace to hospitals and pharmacies with informative brochures and posters, creating a magazine ad for health and wellness/medical magazines, and creating a website for a larger advertising market. Further steps would be to create promotional items such as shirts, pens, and tote bags for medical conventions/expos just to get the name out there.
35
MAGAZINE Magazine ads will be placed inside medical and health magazines to draw in a specific demographic.

APP/WEBSITE A website acts as the official store front to PHRIND, making it easily accessible for clients and easily reachable across a broad market. An app makes it easy for wearers to refill their prescription, find a location/pharmacy for easy pickup, contact info and messaging for good client communication, and a place to shop for different PHRIND accessories.

PROMOTIONAL ITEMS Promotional items will be given out at conventions, medical expos, and even college campuses to spread the brand name and logo.

DESIGN ANALYSIS
40
Introduction
Methodology
The purpose of the project was to create and design a package encompassed by a fictional company we make up. It is meant to redesign a current product’s packaging found in a store or supermarket while keeping in mind about the biomimicry of the package to combat the traditional box shape. I wanted to create a new idea for the Epipen, a device that injects epinephrine into patients who’ve been stung by a bee and are allergic to them.
1. Research packaging ideas in relation to biomimicry and find inspiration through case studies. 2. Create a brain map of what your company should embody, trace key elements to what you want the logo to represent, and come up with several mock-ups using basic shapes and examples as your guide. 3. With the logo, logo name, mission statement, and case studies finished, encompass the company’s vision in it’s packaging by coming up with sketches and prototypes. 4. Expand on the company’s hold by creating a business system and graphic standard to strengthen its marketable image. 5. Finalize the product after many trial and errors of previous attempts and mock-ups 6. Capture every step/process made for this project in a reflective process manual.
Problem Statement The Epipen is bulky and not easy to carry around, so I thought I’d create a necklace version of it for easy handling and reduce the amount of material needed to not only make the necklace but also the package. It will be worn around the neck and will be able to be pulled off to be injected into the patient. It is meant to eliminate the fear of the outdoors with it’s light-weightness, convenience, and portability. Objectives Steps were taken to figure out the marketing audience, the competition, and the actual construction of this product. It takes around 0.3mg of epinephrine to help curb a stung patient until the paramedics arrive. The Epipen is surrounded by a rather large and bulky plastic exterior that could be eliminated and reduced down with the right technology to push the liquid down. Marketing audience would be the upper middle class, females from teenage years and up. It is not only a medical device but also a fashion statement. The targeted demographic helped shape the logo and design of the company itself, as it was compared to other jewelry brands targeting similar audiences such as JewelMint.
Evaluation While the necklace itself is just a vision and cannot be fully developed into a working product without extensive research, time, and help from many engineers, doctors, and skilled craftsmen needed in this field, the goal/vision of the packaging was met and the logo/branding stays consistent throughout the project. The dimensional, minimal look of the diamond that makes up the logo is not lost or muddled during the entire exploration process and is even carried out into the business system, graphic standard, and packaging. Project Summary Overall, the major constraints were heavily fictional. Figuring out the right size for a necklace and the inner workings on it was hypothesized from the surface-based research I was able to conduct. However, I do believe it is possible to construct once the technology and movement towards it is there. The packaging came to me rather easily because I knew I wanted it to be minimal, small, and not wasteful of space and material. The triangle was the perfect solution because it resembles the stinger (the vessel of the poison) and plays off the irony that it holds the antidote. This parallels the ironic double-edged sword the logo plays off of as well. It is also the perfect triangle, so you could arrange 7 of them to create a honeycomb hexagon. 41
