Walk My Dog

Mobile Application:
Walk My Dog is a mobile application that connects dog owners with local dog walkers. The challenge was to create a mobile application to be user-friendly and help dog owners gain some peace of mind by providing them with an easy-to-use platform to reach reliable dog walkers close by.

Problem Statement:
Owners are sometimes just too busy to walk their dogs and need a service that is reliable, inexpensive and has dog walkers that can be trusted.

Research:
Research is fundamental in the process of product design. Collecting examples of what the current market has to offer is essential as you can pick and choose what works for you. What I would look into was the visual style, branding, and design flow.

User Flow:
The flow structure is simple and straight forward and I aimed to make it as easy as possible for the user to understand what to do straight away in finding a dog walker.

Visual Design:
Simple and easy was the goal. Using nature images as the opening screen reduces stress and increases pleasant feelings. Busy people are stressed and picking a green color pallet for this application makes the user feel emotionally better by lowering blood pressure, and the production of stress hormones. The yellow catches the eye and helps direct the user for going to the next screen or highlights anything that is important.

Programs Used:
Figma and Adobe Illustrator
