recycling category board design

Created these boards for a recycling centre to categorise each collection bins.

The requester wanted something eye catching with a cartoony character on it.

So I created a simple human figure carrying things for recycling.

The concept was to create something simple, attractive 

and most important of all, 

helps the public recognise which category their recycle items belongs to. 

I used minimal design on the boards to avoid clutter and 

colour coded each category base on the recycling material to ease identification even from afar.

Symbols of common items in that category were listed along with actual product images

to help the public categorise even better.
