Spring ’23, Blog Assignment #.4

Here is my Moodboard for Pet Cube.

I chose a swatch that would play on a more lighter, bubbly tone rather than the swatch they currently have which is shades of grey and white. I wanted to see if the client would be interested in adding accent colors to their brand identity, nothing loud but something that would stand out from the other products that are in the similar vain jocking for that very flat, monochromatic look that UX lays heavily on.

Also chose some buzzwords and images that center around images of dogs more than people cause that’s really who this product is for. And I think in a social media campaign that would go further showcasing pets clumsily trying to catch treats in the air (which is how this device delivers the treat, by projecting it) than your run of the mill family pics of the dog coexisting with its humans. I did throw a couple lifestyle pics of that as well for good measure.

Fun idea would to have ad reels on their socials of just cutaways of dogs trying to catch the treats coming out of the device and missing. And have the cuts be in slow motion. I think that kind of content is low hanging fruit in terms of engagement and would serve to do the company well in reaching a new audience and could turn into sales.

Spring ’23, Blog Assignment #.3

Freelance

I have experience in this arena more than the later two. I like it so far versus having a regular job. For one big reason is the level of freedom I have in terms of schedule. Yes, sometimes the work load can be pretty strenuous at times, but the bigger the projects I obtain, the less I have to work later. Leaving me time to spend with my family or personal projects.

Part-time, Contract/Agency

This one seems like a nice answer to those who want to be a freelancer in sorts but don’t want to have the hassle of managing their clientele. They want to have the freedom and focus on just the work without having to have a direct line to a boss. I guess having to give a taste of your earnings sucks, but the agency needs to eat to for their work.

Fulltime

Stable, reliable, predictable in terms of work/life balance. I never cared for it. But for some people this is the best option. Not everyone can govern themselves. People like the idea of having agency, but crumble under the pressure of having to self manage.
