Communication theory: PAWPRINT STUDIO
How communication theory works in the field of design
In design, communication is understood as a process of creating and transmitting meaning between the creator and the audience. Within the theories presented in the course Communication Theory: Bridging Academia and Practice, design is not a static object — it acts as a mediator in the exchange of meanings.
The designer creates a message using form, color, and materials as codes. The audience interprets them based on their own cultural experience. This brings into play key communication elements such as:
- Encoding (creating a visual message)
- Channel (the form of presentation, the medium)
- Decoding (how the audience understands the meaning)
- Context and noise (factors influencing interpretation)
In contemporary design, the model becomes two-way: the viewer generates a response, and the brand considers it when developing its visual system. For PAWPRINT STUDIO, design becomes a way to express an animal’s character — not through words, but through symbols. The choice of color, graphics, and texture turns into a symbolic system that explains who the pet is: calm, playful, determined, gentle.

Message Design Logics help structure the brand’s working approaches:
- through expressive logic — expressing the designer’s vision of the diversity of animal behavior types;
- through conventional logic — following the norms of the pet industry (comfort, safety);
- through rhetorical logic — adapting the design to owners’ needs to offer a personalized product.
Presentation for a general audience
Presentation for a General Audience Welcome to PAWPRINT STUDIO — a brand that turns your pet’s unique traits into personalized accessories and incredibly expressive looks. We believe that every pet has distinctive characteristics that can be translated into form, texture, and color. That’s why our products are not made from templates — they are born from the very personality of your animal.
Custom Molded Accessories Each item is the result of precise molding of paws, snouts, and ears. We create pendants that can be used as ID tags, boots with custom tread patterns based on paw shape, and hats perfectly fitted to your pet’s ears.

This way, the accessory becomes more than just decoration — it becomes a personal emblem that belongs to no one else.
Functional Clothing Our vests and capes are made from innovative materials that turn a walk into an interactive adventure full of vibrant colors. You can choose from two fabrics for custom tailoring:
- Thermochromic fabric changes color as your pet’s body temperature rises or falls. This is not only beautiful but also practical: you can immediately see if your pet is comfortable.
- Hydrochromic fabric reacts to moisture — when it gets wet, the color becomes brighter or shifts to a different shade. Your pet can shine in bright colors in any weather, and it will be easier to spot them on cloudy days or among other pets.

Heat- and moisture-reactive technologies turn clothing into a living part of your pet’s look — changing along with your pet and their surroundings.
Pet Individuality Every item can be customized with details created specifically for your animal:
- For decorative clothing, you can choose shades matching your pet’s fur by uploading a full-body photo in good lighting to our website.
- You can create your own pattern or print based on the most unique parts of your pet’s body — paws and snout. Upload a photo of a paw or nose print made with paint on paper, or place your pet’s paw or nose on our online scanner directly on the website.
- To express your love for your pet, you can order personalized jewelry for both of you. When you order an ID tag for your pet or a pendant for yourself, a form for creating a custom 3D mold will be sent to your email. Complete it and send it back, and soon your personalized accessory will arrive.

Conceptual Advantage
Each product is created based on the individuality of the pet: paw shapes, snouts, ears, and fur shades are translated into accessories, clothing, and patterns.
Custom Molds and Accessories Pendants, boots, and hats are designed to match the pet’s unique shape. Such products cannot be reproduced for another animal, making them truly exclusive. For pet owners, these items become a personal signature and an important element of emotional connection.
Functional Apparel with Innovative Fabrics Thermochromic fabrics change color with the pet’s body temperature, while hydrochromic fabrics react to moisture. This combines practical utility with aesthetic value, turning clothing into a «living element» that reflects the pet’s condition and activity.
Personalized Patterns and Prints Owners can upload photos of their pet or paw/nose prints to create a unique design. This approach turns the product into a reflection of the pet’s character and fosters a strong emotional attachment to it.

Communication theory as basis for the presentations
Segmentation of Messages by Audience
Message Design Logics
Politeness Theory
Communication is designed to support a positive image of the owner — pressure is avoided, with emphasis on care and respect for the pet. This aligns with maintaining a positive face.
Social Exchange Theory
The offered values — aesthetics, emotional connection, convenience — should outweigh the customer’s investment, creating sustainable loyalty.
