Redesigned Rotten Tomatoes
To showcase the overall redesign points of the Rotten Tomatoes, I made a main page, trending page, and a movie rating page.
Overall, I limited the amount of information that goes into the header section and used black, red, and white in the website’s design elements. By clearing the visual clutter of the original design, the redesign was able to look more refined and coherent. Having only three colors allowed red to be used as an accent / highlight color and thus give more visual importance.
For the layout of the main page and trending page, I intended it to be more direct and simplified for the users to have an easier time of navigating the site.
The movie rating page was also redesigned to give a more direct visual of how the movie is rated. The bar underneath the banner and the tomato sticker is meant to be more red if the movie is “fresh” and black if the movie is “rotten.” It is a use of what the two colors are meant to represent.
The website redesign project was an eye-opener to me on figuring how sites are designed and what aspects are necessary for a well-refined website design. Simplification and visual clearance are the crucial ingredients for such websites.
