Summary

In busy cities, dog owners sometimes forget to pick up after their dogs, creating health risks and mess. This project tested reminders that are friendly, visible, and effective.

Problem(s)

Owners forget bags or get distracted. Typical signs are ignored. We needed a memorable, positive nudge.

Ideation

Explored reminders beyond standard signage—playful visuals and thoughtful placement to encourage considerate behavior.
