INTRODUCTION

IMDb is one of the most visited websites in the world. There you can find everything about Cinema, TVShows, Actors, etc… They have an impressive database. However, it’s urgent to give it a more modern look. Here is my proposal…

#OhDear

Current Website

Some say, “don’t change a winning team”… I agree with that but not in this particular case. More than visual, the current IMDb website needs to improve your usability. They have too much features! I understand… is not easy organize all the information they have. They have users from all over the world and this turns the job a “little” more complicated. However… So I tried to redesign three pages that I considered the most important pages: Homepage; Movie Page; People Page.

#SiteMap

First Things First

First, I have tried to reorder all the information to reduce the excess of resources and to improve the navigation flow.

#UserFlow

Scenarios

I created a few proto-personas and tried to find the best flow possible for their needs. Without ever forgetting that this is one of the most visited websites in the world and the kind of people who visits the website is extremely diverse.

#Wireframes

Balsamiq

After research I started to draw a lot of sketches to materializing my ideas and needs. Redesign the IMDb’s website isn’t easy at all. Maybe that’s why they are happy with your current product. It is necessary to think in a lot of small details like: Is IMDb Pro Account really important for common users? Does it make sense to have a link to cinema tickets on the main menu if is not possible to buy tickets from it? And… What is “IMDb Tv”? It is the IMDb’s Channel? No!!! Ask them because I can’t understand what the hell is that…

#Type&Color

Design it

It was time to choosing the fonts and the colors. I have to confess… It’s my favorite part of web design process. For the fonts, I choose to combine between Montserrat (headers) and Ubunto (body).
