Often called outlined versus filled, or hollow versus solid, a great mobile app designer will know that icon design is incredibly important. A well-designed icon will be highly recognizable to the mobile app user, allowing for quick taps and navigation to, and through, your app. Discuss with the interviewer what you may know about icon design. Although you may not have a design background, you have likely been involved in design discussions throughout your app development career.

"There is a great debate between designers on whether icons are better filled, or outlined. Many designers believe that a filled or solid icon is best to use, and app users more easily recognize it. With outlined icons, a designer can use more detail; however. Do you have a preference at Fueled when it comes to outlined versus filled icons?"
