The Reel Corn - Movie Finder
Made to liven up any lonely night or awkward party, THE REEL CORN serves up a nostalgic mix of cult classics and horror flicks everyone loves. I designed this with a retro aesthetic in mind, inspired by vintage gaming consoles like Atari and Nintendo, playful interface with bold visual choices.
Each mode showcases a streamlined UI that’s both fun and intuitive. The logo and Phosphate display font give off a bold, throwback vibe, while Roboto is used for body text to balance the design with modern readability.
A buttery yellow accent color is applied across both modes in appropriate measures to keep things cohesive. Soft gradients add depth without clutter, and the dark mode uses a dusk-inspired palette transitioning from midnight blue to black, creating a warm, cinematic atmosphere.
Overall, THE REEL CORN is meant to be playful, visually inviting, and easy on the eyes.

Very well done! I enjoyed reading about the decisions behind your design process, and the visual design and type choices are on point.
To improve scannability, I might suggest designing or choosing simpler icons for your footer, as the linework can be a bit difficult to read at smaller sizes. The colored 3D glasses also stand out- do you want them to be hierarchically more important?
I'd also love to learn more about the circles next to the profile picture in the upper left corner- is there a meaning behind having two overlapping ones? It might read better with one "active" bubble.
