For the design approach of how we envisioned our recycling app, I pitched an angular, color-coordinated shape scheme inspired by the bold and efficient designs often seen in subway station signage. These systems are known for their ability to convey information quickly and clearly, even in high-traffic environments, which aligns with our goal of creating a user-friendly app.

We chose this design route for a couple of key reasons. First, the vibrant, angular shapes allowed us to make the interface visually engaging and attention-grabbing, which we believed would resonate well with users and encourage them to interact with the app. At the same time, the consistent color coordination provided a sense of structure and order, helping users navigate the app intuitively and locate features or information more efficiently. This balance between being visually flashy and practically uniform was critical in designing an app that stands out while still prioritizing user experience.
