Disclaimer: This case study is still being worked on. Not a Final Design

Crunchyroll Website / Mobile redesign ( In Progress )

🖊️ My Role: UI Designer

I created a UI design which has dark mode and navigation to make it more suitable for users to watch and read in a more simple manner.


The design was all  done by myself. I wanted to explore current trends as well as improve my design skills.

About the Company

“Crunchyroll is a company focused on streaming anime, manga, and drama.”

 

Current Live Crunchyroll website: Can be viewed here.

 

Changes I want to make:

  • Easier experience for users to browse the website by making it more engaging.

  • Making the brand push its focus more towards the competitors such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc...

Landing Page Wireframes

Started the design with low-fi wireframe and a touch of mid-fi/high-fi to understand the correct concept I wanted to explore.

Visual Style Guide

Let there be light!

  • Positive contrast polarity (light mode) refers to dark-font text on light background.

  • Negative contrast polarity (dark mode) denotes the combination of light (e.g., white) text on dark (e.g., black) background.

↓First iteration of the redesigned Crunchyroll website.

Side by side comparison

The human pupil is the gateway to the retina: through it, light reaches the eye. By default, the human pupil changes size depending on the amount of light in the environment: when there is a lot of light, it contracts and becomes narrower, and when it’s dark, it dilates to allow more light to get in. 

I want to make sure I am giving an option to where what the users prefer than having one in permanent.
