STORYBOARDING

ONBOARDING

After the start up screen, Bag Zero users are taken to the onboarding screen with animated graphics where they learn about the process of needing a bag, renting a bag, returning the bag, and the bag being collected, sanitized, and returned to the system.
HOME SCREEN
The goal of the home screen was to be fun yet simple. Here, users are able to see how many bags they have out and when they need to be returned by. Users are also able to pull up the QR to checkout bags, view the map of participating locations, and work towards challenges for rewards.



SEE YOUR IMPACT
User can navigate to the impact tracking feature to connect with community and find more information about the company.

With a simple home screen, BagZero can be used as an independent application, or easily integrated into existing shopping apps. The transitions mirror the design language with a fun and playful approach.
