Dog Customs
Ridiculous. This poor little dog is just thinking, “What in the everliving hell is going on? Quick, someone get this shit off me!” On the other hand, the owner is probably thinking, “Oooooo how adoooooorable! Paying $300 for that custom dog wetsuit was toooootally worth it!”
This pooch appears to be a Bedlington Terrier. Believe it or not, this camel haircut isn’t that far off from the standard haircut for this breed. They usually have an especially poofy patch of hair on the bridge of their snout, as well as little poofs of fur hanging at the tips of the ears and tail. However, they do not usually have humps on their backs and harnesses on their faces.
Here’s another dog-pretending-to-be-horse costume, and this one takes it up a notch. Unfortunately, it’s a notch too far in my opinion. I mean, really, do you think this dog enjoys having a freaking harness on its face? No. But I guess sometimes you just feel like dressing your dog up like a character from a Washington Irving short story.
Here are a couple more costumes that make the front of the dog look like an upright human with a dog’s head. It’s kind of cute to see dogs looking like proper humans (since so many don’t understand they’re not human anyway), but I find this style of costume to be a little creepy. In this case particular case, we have Batdog and Superdog. Judging by their sitting positions and keen stares, the owner of these Labrador retrievers is probably just off camera bribing them with treats.
You may think this is a simple, store-bought costume. But notice that the two fake heads look just like the actual dog (and also that they are a little rough around the edges). Obviously, this getup is a custom job, which means someone has way too much time on his or her hands. Hopefully the owner at least won some kind of contest, maybe got a lifetime supply of dog food…something.
As you will see as you move down this list, this type of dog costume is becoming quite popular. Here we have a dog posing as an elf from the appropriately titled Will Ferrell movie, Elf. I like this movie. But I like lots of movies, and I don’t dress my dog up as characters from all of them.
Well, here’s one way to make a Chihuahua seem dignified: put a chivalrous knight on his back. Sure, it’s not a real knight, but when compared to the usual behavior of these little dogs (high pitched yapping or, occasionally, cowering in terror when the wind blows), transporting even a fake member of the round table seems noble.
To get things started, here’s a photo of a pit bull terrier posing as the king of the jungle. I know what you’re thinking: dude, lions don’t live in jungles, they live on the Serengeti. But hey, I’m not in charge of making up colloquial expressions, so cut me some slack. In any case, you have to admit this costume is pretty cute.

I guess we should add this costume to the list of weird Yoda fan art. Obviously, the owners of these dogs are major nerds (and I don’t mean that in a negative way; some of my closest friends are major nerds). The only question is, who wore it better, the Cockapoo or the Pug? I say pug. His wrinkly face more closely resembles that of the real Yoda

People love their dogs. And to an extent, this is understandable. After all, for millennia the species canis famliaris has been selectively bred by the species homo sapiens to be the perfect companion—protective, loyal, and affectionate. Along the way, I think a little of this selective breeding rubbed off on people, too, so that now it’s our nature to return the affection dogs have for us. That being said, it’s one thing to be fond of dogs, and it’s another thing to be so crazy about your dog that you dress it up in elaborate costumes. While I admit that my own pooch has suffered the indignity of sporting a costume from time to time, the poor guy has never had to endure the kind of humiliation some dogs experience on a regular basis. The following list of 13 Hilarious Dog Costumes runs the gamet of dog costumery. From simple and fun to ornate and bizarre, there’s a little bit of everything.
What is the impact of the design business
Everything we see around us has been influenced by design. Design gives creativity and without it things would not be interesting. Design provides innovation for business organisations and discretely makes them interesting and more appealing to customers.
For instance, Chris Bedford, President of Karo group explains how they redesigned the website for Bernard Callebaut, a chocolaterie based in Calgary. Their original website lacked fast navigation and friendly usability, it also lacked in brand presence and was slightly incommunicative (Bedford, 2006).
The aim of the new design was to maintain the brand identity of the chocolaterie, enhance brand experience, improve the site navigation structure and usability, and retail strategy. The design team was keen to know whether the new design could increase the number of orders placed online in order to drive up the online volume sales.
No advertising was done and the website smoothly took place of the old one. When the new figures from the project were released, it appeared that the number of orders online actually increased by 63%. Moreover, the total value of online sales increased by 156%, and the average value of each online sale increased by 62% (Bedford, 2006).
The investment on design for this business organisation was entirely worth it as the return on investment was significant. Therefore, we can affirm that design has had an immense impact on the business of Bernard Callebaut.
To stay above international competition without bringing prices down businesses can enhance design techniques to improve their businesses and gain profits. These days, design is being used in a way that it is improving performance and increasing innovation.
"According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, top innovators generate over 75 per cent of revenue from products not in existence five years ago". Design brings benefits such as increased quality of goods and services, improved production flexibility and reduced materials costs. It also increases exports; over 90 per cent businesses found that their international customers valued design and 86 per cent indicated that design helps them to compete internationally and attracts investment (Lambin, 2010).
Businesses can use design methods and techniques to improve existing products and services. They can also innovate to meet the demand of the consumers for products that do not exist yet.
Designing prototypes to develop new ideas can do this to develop new projects. Also creating products that are in demand to meet consumer needs. Packaging, graphics and communication can also improve the brand and its image.

Chris Bedford describes in “Profiting by design” how design is included in business and how businesses put more and more focus on the design aspect than in the past. Different studies have proven that the impact of design on a product’s success is significant and should not be under estimated.
