Dark Mode Design

This project is my take on a movie-matching and multi-viewing app design. I designed the movie matching cards to resemble those of a dating app, hoping that the familiar activity would be a fun experience and more interactive than just scrolling down a list of films.

I chose these pastel colors and dark stroke outlines to give the page a printed/card stock feel to mimic how movie reviews were printed out on newspapers. I wanted it to be a fun homage and deviation from the norm that could make it more memorable and eye-catching. I kept some of the colors similar to minimize eyestrain in dark mode, but kept some important interactive elements the same for continuity and clarity.

As for the colors in the individual movie cards, I chose colors to blend smoothly with both the light and dark modes, with the background color from the movie poster to make it look more cohesive with the rest of the design. This accent color would be a color that's similar to each movie poster to provide a different experience with each movie card the user interacts with.

Poppins was chosen as the sole font for this project because of its rounded, yet uniform appearance. Like this design, I aimed for it to look welcoming and friendly, but still professional, and using Poppins and its many font styles achieved this both on its own and as a piece of the larger design as well.
