Design Approach

City Explorer was designed to be intuitive, accessible, and easy to use for everyone. A balanced colour palette creates a clean and comfortable experience without being too bright or too dark. Clear typography and simple, familiar icons improve readability and make navigation feel natural, helping users explore the city with ease.
