Project Overview
This Data Selfie project visualizes the daily routine of my dog, Athena, through three separate poster designs. Each poster focuses on a different behavioral data set: the amount she walks, the amount of time she barks, and the amount of food she eats.
The goal of this project is to transform personal data into engaging visual narratives using iconography and infographic principles. By tracking and visualizing Athena’s habits, the posters turn ordinary daily activities into meaningful, measurable design content.
Walk
Athena takes two main walking routes each day: one uphill path that is more challenging and takes longer due to the incline, and one downhill route that is quicker and easier for her to navigate. The uphill walk requires more time and energy, while the downhill walk allows her to move faster and finish the route in less time.
Bark
Athena’s barking is usually triggered by three main things: sudden noises, unfamiliar people, and other animals nearby. Each trigger causes different levels of response, with noises creating quick alert barks, while people and animals often lead to longer, more persistent barking.
Eat
Athena eats her meals using a slow feeder bowl, which changes her pace depending on the type of food—plain kibble, kibble with water, or kibble mixed with meat. Compared to eating from a regular bowl, she finishes much faster without the slow feeder, while the slow feeder encourages her to eat more slowly and steadily regardless of the meal variation.
