VS copy paper with the same pattern

If you only have a few ideas, you can use copy paper, but copy paper can cause a lot of trouble when writing out many ideas and repeating trial and error. Brainstorm Notebook eliminates all of these annoyances.

100 ideas of copy paper annoyance

Please try to imagine. When I came up with 100 ideas with copy paper printed with the same pattern...

1. Annoyance of messing up the order
2. Ideas are overflowing from my head all the time, but the annoyance of thinking stops when the paper ends
3. The hassle of lining up 100 proposals in preparation for an idea meeting
4. Bulging bundles of paper that make you lose the desire to organize them

It's a small piece of paper, but copy paper always brings the same kind of hassle.

Brainstorm Notebook are a valuable time-saving tool

Brainstorm Notebook is a little expensive, but it is a super time-saving tool that eliminates all these troublesome times that inevitably occur in the ideation experience and allows you to concentrate on coming up with ideas.

originality

Brainstorm Notebook may look very simple, but it is an unlikely conception tool that has been officially recognized by the government as "the world's first design that has never existed before ."

Design registration is a right that is granted only to "the world's first unique design that has never existed before" after the Japanese Patent Office conducts a rigorous examination of "products around the world."

Brainstorm Notebook development story

It all started with this initial sketch in September 2017.

2015 “The experience of sticky notes is the best when you are thinking about ideas.

2017 "I see! If you eliminate the sorting function, you can achieve this! You can concentrate on coming up with ideas! "

2022 "Birth of the Brainstorm Notebook!"

One-shot separate scan

Design that can be scanned separately in one shot

The one-shot split scan is a function that can only be used for bold designs (001, 004, 005). (Not available on F1, C1, etc. models.)

app

By using one of the two types of smartphone apps, you can perform a one-shot disjointed scan.

Post-it® (3M Company)

This app is recommended for sorting ideas (grouping, etc.) in Microsoft PowerPoint or Adobe Illustrator.

Miro: online whiteboard (RealtimeBoard Inc.)

If you want to rearrange your ideas in Miro, use the Break Apart feature in Miro's smartphone app. Post-it® also has a menu to import it into Miro, but I don't recommend it because the illustration will be forcibly converted to text.

Tip 1

If you shoot in a bright place, the accuracy will increase.

Tip 2

By cutting the color clear file with scissors and shooting, the scanning accuracy at the time of shooting will be higher (than shooting without the color clear file), and the scanned image will be captured neatly, so it is recommended.

In Japan, colored clear files are sold at 100-yen shops in packs of 10 (5 colors x 2).

Those who want to try it once

You can try it in two ways.

1. How to share with multiple people

It is recommended to share one book with 2 to 5 people and try it for a small amount. Because there is a perforation, it is possible to divide it neatly by multiple people. If you have more than 20 pages, you should be able to fully feel the goodness of this notebook.

2. How to make your own

You can try the same usability by printing the paper with the same squares yourself and connecting the paper to the paper with tape . (By the way, I used this procedure when making a breastnote prototype.)

However, as a point to note when making your own, if the number of pages is small, you will lose the sense of security that the squares continue endlessly, and it will be difficult to feel the goodness of the breastnote. If you are making your own, try connecting at least 10 pages of paper together .

Recommended trial method

It is not possible to finish it beautifully by yourself, and it takes time and effort, so "Share with multiple people" is the most recommended .

product package

Overview

It will be packed and delivered in a transparent plastic package .

please

Do not throw away the package immediately, but use it as a storage or carrying bag for your breast notebook. Uses materials and designs that are easy to use for storage, etc.

material

The following materials are used for easy storage and portability.

・Plastic package with excellent water resistance and scratch resistance

・The transparent package allows you to see the contents without taking out the contents .

・Durable package made of tear- resistant material *

*Instead of the cheap material " OPP bag" used in general plastic packages, we have adopted a material " CPP bag" that is more resistant to tearing. Click here for a reference video (differences between OPP and CPP bags)

design

We have adopted an unassuming design that makes it easy to see what you put in .

Specifically, we adopted the following design.

・Omit the contents of the print as much as possible → the contents can be seen clearly

・Move the print to the bottom (clear the center) → the contents can be seen clearly

・The print color is inconspicuous white → The print disappears as it blends with the background color of the paper. As a result, the inside becomes the leading role.

Product package development story

Overview

In order to achieve both ease of use and consideration for the global environment, we have adopted a product package based on the "long-use concept ."

How to give consideration to the global environment

By incorporating the idea of ​​​​"minimizing the amount of garbage that will inevitably occur", we have considered the global environment as much as possible.

long use concept

From the beginning of development, we wanted to consider the global environment as much as possible as a "manufacturing company" that handles large amounts of resources.

However, since Brainstorm Notebook are made of paper, in order to safely deliver the product to the customer, it is necessary to use a plastic package from the viewpoint of waterproofing. Even so, in order to be as environmentally friendly as possible, I was wondering if I should use paper packaging, even if it meant reducing its functionality.

Waterproof and environmentally friendly. What I came up with as a way to reconcile these two contradictory ideas was to change the way of thinking about "how to consider the global environment ." Specifically, we wanted to extend the strengths of plastic packaging and make it into a package that can be used until the end (=a package that can live out its life until the end) , rather than a package that is thrown away as soon as it arrives.

The “long-use concept” package was born from such an idea.

Ingenuity point

In order to realize the long-use concept, we made three ingenuity.

1. How to make a bag that will naturally be used for a long time

2. Adopt a design that can be used for a long time

3. Uses materials that can be used for a long time

1. How bags should naturally be used for a long time

The point was to take advantage of the transparency of the plastic package and consider it not only for "mailing" products but also for "storage and transportation ."

Of course, it is possible to store and carry even if it is not transparent. However, if you put it in a brown envelope, you can't see the contents unless you take it out one by one. On the other hand, with a transparent plastic package, you can see the contents inside, so you don't have to worry about that. In addition, the developer of Brainstorm Notebook also tries to ``store documents and small items so that the contents can be seen as much as possible'' in everyday life. A bag would be nicer," he thought. Especially for Brainstorm Notebook, which have a variety of lineups, a bag whose contents cannot be seen at a glance is fatal. Therefore, from the perspective of usability, we thought that "a transparent package that allows the contents to be seen is the best solution" for storing the Brainstorm Notebook .

Based on the above, we decided to make the product package a package that maximizes "storing and carrying and using it for a long time (= naturally using it for a long time)" without throwing it away as soon as it arrives.

2. "Design" that can be used for a long time

We have adopted a design that allows you to clearly see what you put in, which the package itself does not insist on. Specifically, we adopted the following design.

1. Omit the printed content as much as possible

→I can see the contents clearly

2. Align the print to the bottom (clear the center )

→I can see the contents clearly

3. Print color is inconspicuous white

→The print blends with the color of the paper and becomes invisible, and what you put in becomes the main character.

*Even in transparent plastic packages, for example loose-leaf packages, the product name and instructions are printed large on the entire surface. In this way, you can't see what you put in, and the bag is the main role rather than the contents. For the Brainstorm Notebook bag, we adopted a design in which the contents play a leading role.

3. "Materials" that can be used for a long time

Even if you want to use it for storage or transportation, if it is torn immediately, it cannot be used for a long time. Especially for Brainstorm Notebook, unlike loose-leaf notebooks, which are taken out one by one, the whole book is taken out. For this reason, Brainstorm Notebook bags are made with a “tear-resistant bag material” .

Specifically, instead of using the inexpensive OPP bag material used in general plastic packaging, we have adopted a more durable material, the CPP bag.

* OPP bags are mainly used for loose-leaf bags. Click here for a reference video showing the difference between OPP and CPP bags

summary

As an initiative for the global environment, we use bags that adopt the following 3 points of "minimize garbage" design .

1. How to make a bag that will naturally be used for a long time

→ Give the bag the function of "for storage and carrying"

2. Adopt a design that can be used for a long time

→ Adopting a design in which "the contents play a leading role"

3. Uses materials that can be used for a long time

→ Adoption of "tear-resistant" bag material

How it will be done in the future

Currently, we have given up on using it due to cost issues, but we are considering using a plastic package that contains plant-derived biomass components in the future. Specifically, it can contribute to "conservation of petroleum resources" and "reduction of CO2 emissions."

・"Conservation of petroleum resources": Conservation of petroleum resources can be achieved by blending plant-derived raw materials during manufacturing.

・"Reduction of CO2 emissions": CO2 generated by incineration at the time of disposal is absorbed by plants used as raw materials for manufacturing, creating a virtuous cycle that does not increase CO2 .

Bonus 1

The above contents were summarized in Brainstorm Notebook 005 .

Bonus 2

The Brainstorm Notebook developer was researching "design for long-term use" for his graduation thesis at university.

Recommended storage method

A4 clear file for each theme

If you put them in an A4 clear file for each theme, it is recommended that you can access each idea immediately.

All together in an A4 zipper file

It is recommended to store the A4 clear files that have been sorted into subdivisions together in an A4 zipper file so that the contents can be seen.

You can store it in a bookshelf as a zipper file or put it in your bag and carry it.

A4 zipper files can be purchased at 100 yen shops in Japan.

Initiatives for the global environment

Consideration for the global environment in product packaging

Brainstorm Notebook product packaging uses plastic packaging from the perspective of waterproofing, etc. to deliver products to customers safely. Therefore, from the viewpoint of materials, it is not possible to consider the global environment .

However, by reviewing the way packaging should be and adopting a package designed to "minimize the amount of plastic waste that will inevitably occur", we have taken the global environment into consideration.

Concrete device

We have adopted a package design based on the “long-use concept” that allows the product to be used naturally for a long time.

For details, please see the product package development story.
