Competitive Analysis

To inform my design decisions, I analyzed competitors and found they rely on dark poster visuals, point-based layouts, and prominent CTAs to guide users. These patterns revealed a clear opportunity to refine hierarchy and create a more engaging, intuitive review experience in my redesign.

Hierarchy Simplification

Hierarchy Simplification

I reorganised the page structure by conducting modular analysis. Non-essential information was moved to secondary pages, allowing the main interface to highlight core functions and decision-critical content—streamlining the user journey.

Layout Optimization

Layout Optimization

I explored multiple structural approaches to simplify the information hierarchy and improve clarity—testing different content groupings, layout flows, and visual emphasis. Through continuous iteration and collaboration with the product team, we landed on a streamlined design that surfaces key features and relevant content up front.

Check-In Feature for Habit Formation

To address the issue of low visibility and deep entry points, I introduced a new “Check-In” feature that encourages users to log their viewing activity. The goal was to build daily habits and strengthen community engagement by making the action more accessible, motivating, and rewarding. Given the content-driven nature of the platform, I asked:

Revamped Share Card Visuals

To drive viral sharing, I redesigned the share cards with a skeuomorphic visual approach—using full-screen movie covers and realistic textures to create emotional appeal. The layout was also reorganized for better readability and visual balance, enhancing both function and form.
