The prompt for my senior thesis project was to identify a design problem – anything I thought could be designed more successfully – and create a design solution for that problem.
Problem:
First time dog owners don’t consider the importance of finding a dog that is truly compatible with their lifestyle. This leads to neglect, abuse, and over-crowding of animal shelters.
The Target Audience:
The target audience for this project are recent college grads and young professionals. Many recent college graduates are lonely as they venture off to the real world, and think that purchasing a dog to keep them company is a great fix. However, they do not consider all aspects of their lifestyle and how a dog would fit into their lives.
The Solution:
Website providing a service very similar to a dating website. Matches the user to a dog based on series of questions in order to find the most compatible pair. A “perfect fit”.
