CATAPLOFT! 💥 Murry de amor e ressuscitei depois, vendo tanta fofurice! ❤ . #Repost @dogzencomportamentocanino (@get_repost) ・・・ Semana de férias escolares é igual a semana de funcionária nova na Dog Zen! 😍😍😍 . Isso mesmo! A Luiza, uma garotinha de 10 anos, está nos ajudando a generalizar os treinos da semana! Os alunos estão sendo desafiados a repetir os mesmos exercícios que já estão acostumados, mas dessa vez, recebendo comandos de uma criança! . Mas por quê isso? Porque os cães têm dificuldades para generalizar, acham muito diferente quando uma pessoa, que nunca viram, pede para fazerem o que já sabem, já perceberam? Quando a gente altera a pessoa, ainda mais, colocando uma pessoinha no cenário, o desafio está garantido! 😊👩👍 . Resultado: aumentamos o gasto mental e afiamos ainda mais os treinos! 💪❤🐕 . O #BentoLindo teve dificuldade no início, mas logo tirou de letra! 👏👏 . #treinopositivo #comportamentocanino #adestramentopositivo #dogzen #cachorro #qvd #amocachorros #semenforcador #dog #tutorpositivo #educacaocanina #bepositive #staypositive #dogtraining #reforcopositivo #instadog #bemestaranimal #cachorrofeliz #dogstagram #dogbehavior #pin #dogzen #seubuldoguefrancês

Midweek Review

Weeks 3-5: Compile survey info, create new screens for Figma Protoype for Play Feature, create 4 personas for users, update fitness screens to include final dog zen dashboard, dog translator options

Lots of progress in lots of areas this week with many on the list and few that are not. I feel like 3 steps forward, 2 steps back. But according to my schedule above, thats about right. Where I wanted or thought I would make progress was within my Figma Prototype for mobile app. And with one simple question, “What does fitness look like?”, I fell into the research rabbit hole.

I am building out my landing page screens for Go Walk, Get Fit, Play Time & the Dog-Friendly Map. I already had the Fitness screen exploration for charts & graphs and had worked out a series of dog pedometer measuring options to track steps without the use of an additional device attached to the dog’s collar. 

PINNABLE ITEM: The discovery here - yes it would be cool to have a mat at the door that can track an accurate gate to provide an average, but you need a device on the collar to really track well. Dogs never walk in a straight line at the same pace.... not ever that I have witnessed for an average walk unless they are running w/ their owners, so much sniffing and peeing and pooping to be done and squirrels to chase or dog butt’s to sniff..... an accurate pace tracker will need to be attached to the collar for a more reliable reading.

The question of the Fitness palette was then asked of one of my SME’s who provided some great insight to designing a lite and dark mode article that looked at why both are now important. The trend to allow both mode’s in the hands of the user is a great point. My app mode is currently dark. And this week I explored shifting that to a more cheery, lighter mode and found I was not all that much a fan.

Take Aways: It’s not as simple as just turning text and elements to black or white. The depth you’re trying to achieve goes missing. Boring and flat is what I encountered. So funny enough I am going from dark to light and apparently the reverse is more common. And it is not to mix and match, go all in dark mode because its an experience for one person. not an “I want both” - I know that is not how I would like it, unless its between programs. I always like to have Adobe Illustrator in white mode, its easier for me to find things on the multiple artboards. Yet in Photoshop I need to have the dark mode on in order to retouch and capture details. 

I need more research in screen and pattern design. I don’t feel like I have the design pattern nailed down yet. I am looking for a modern, clean urban tech vibe -I hope to try to move in that direction this week. Looking at all the possibilities is daunting, I feel like I am just hitting the surface of this whole new UX design style that what I normally design for. I plan on focusing on pattern research this week, rather than problem research, to help move me into the direction of blowing out the rest of the main phone screens I need for testing. After exploring some screen options I know I need to eliminate the top & bottom Nav’s - simple is best and they are not needed. The more looking I do at screens and patterns, the more I am learning what works. 

The process of working screens and the survey at the same time has also now provided insights into the questions I should be asking, such as:

Which light mode people prefer to use?

What time do you like to play with your dog?

Do you like reminders to stay organized?

How often do you walk & do you feel guilty when you don’t?

The accomplishments for the past couple weeks I have:

Learned how to use Adobe Premier Pro to put together all my videos- very basic settings to start gathering for the final deliverable.

Learned how to organize my vast research links & edit the links to be the name of the article in Google Docs- game changer for finding info quickly

Explored what color palette to use and exposed flaws in both- work on dark mode and table lite mode until later if there is time

Got some new screens built for Figma prototype

Checked in w/ my SME regarding Project Proposal & Prototype & implemented feedback already for modes & survey qr code idea

Established 2 additional SME’s including Vet SME & UX SME for help this week on questions & later for UX review

Completed questionaire to send out in Survey Monkey, created QR code for ease of scanning to get to survey & will post flyers in areas that have high traffic dog owners, Pet Store, Dog Park & Vet’s office in addition to all the friends I’ve met along this capstone journey to hopefully get 25 replies to gain insight

Found a dog translator app to use for alerts, will be part of the setup screens to use your own dogs bark for various alerts

To Dos:

Dive into UX pattern research, need a clean modern urban vibe & build out the 4 key features

Talk to advisor about Bibliography & lack of it on previous capstones, what style to use- AP vs Chicago- I do not want to go back to pages to site w/ numbers! would like to site on the page. Afraid my page movements in the deck will be a nightmare to maintain as I’m always shifting pages. 

Finalize screens for initial setup & feature pages. Revert to dark mode throughout or make the change to light. There can be only one to make the deadline at this point. 

Work on the DogZen Dashboard

Use data sources to begin to articulate the 4 users a bit more, fitness minded owner, family pet owner, solo owner, social traveler owner

Send the Survey!

Contact last SME to make time to interview & gain insight

Você sabe o que o seu 🐶 faz quando está sozinho? . #Repost @dogzencomportamentocanino (@get_repost) ・・・ Filmamos o Bento (@seubuldoguefrances) durante um período em que fica sozinho em casa, para constatarmos mais uma vez: ele é um catioríneo muito bem comportado! 😇 . Ele ficou sozinho, logo após um super passeio matinal de 1 hora, reparem como é importante o uso de enriquecimento ambiental! Durante pouco mais de meia hora, o Bento se manteve completamente entretido com a caixa de papelão, o #kong recheado (lá no cantinho), o tubo de papelão e o osso. Foi como se gastasse o restinho de energia que ainda restava, para depois cair em um sono profundo! 😴😴😴 Ele dormiu 90% do tempo em que foi filmado, revezando entre a cama e o tapetinho, não é maravilhoso? 😍 . Reparem em quanta coisa há à disposição dele e, mesmo assim, ele se concentra em seus brinquedos. O Bento é um buldogue francês de apenas 1 ano, teria energia suficiente para destruir os móveis, o sofá e a planta, latir sem parar por estar sozinho e simplesmente não conseguir relaxar a ponto de dormir! Sabem por quê isso não acontece? Porque ele tem uma rotina rica em gasto de energia física, mental e social, um #qvd altíssimo, com isso, o tédio passa looooonge e ele acaba se comportando muito bem! . Muitas pessoas pensam ser exagero a dedicação que tutores como a Camilli Chamone tem, mas cá para nós, nada melhor do que ter um catioro comportado, que fica tranquiiiiilo em casa, sem destruir absolutamente nada, não é mesmo? . Obs: o vídeo para o Instagram foi acelerado em 4x, para caber em um minuto e dar a noção de como ele se comportou, portanto, essa rapidez nas ações é por isso! Hehe!

A mente mente.

Enquanto estamos aqui pensando naquilo que quer, ou o que vai querer, ou que precisa, o que deve, fugindo sempre do agora. Seu animal tá la observando e vivendo tudo.

Observe como ele também, perceba o que está ao seu redor, veja com o olhar daqueles que chamamos de “irracionais”, que olha com olhar sem preconceito de idias, sem julgamentos, simplesmente eles veem e interagem com o que está ali. ou seja, com o que é real.

It doesn't matter where we go, even little trips to the grocery store, Cleo loves two things...car rides and being with her pack (Sailor and me). I love her sense of wonder, her ability to find that everything qualifies as an adventure. Great life lesson sweet Cleo. #doglovers #dogstagram #dogsofinstagram #wilmingtondogs #portersneckpups #susiewrites #sailorandcleo #cleoandsailor #dogs #dogmom #dogsofinstagram #wilmingtonnc #wilmingtondogs #rescuedog #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #shelterdog #adoptdontshop #newfie #lovemydog #dogsarefamily #dogoftheday #doglove #dogsarefamily #lifelessons #dogmoment #dogzen #dogwisdom (at Porters Neck, Wilmington, North Carolina)
