Brief:
IMDb (Internet Movie Database) is the world’s most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV, and celebrity information. In creating this rebrand, I was inspired by the different aspect ratios used to present films in cinemas today. I want to create an accurate and reliable environment for international film enthusiasts and industry professionals, offering them an enlightened and enriched user experience.
Graphic Elements:
Three different aspect ratios as a starting point, the graphic proposal explores its different meanings and uses them to generate a system of graphic elements. It symbolizes the flexibility and creativity.
Image Treatments:
I was inspired by a filmmaking technique called “film blocking.” Blocking a scene is simply “working out the details of an actor’s moves in relation to the camera.”
You can also think of blocking as the choreography of a dance or a ballet: all the elements on the set (actors, extras, vehicles, crew, equipment) should move in perfect harmony with each other.
New Rating System:
A transparent and rigorous evaluation system implemented by experienced, world-renowned professionals. Fairness is key when evaluating each movie. For that reason, I created a new evaluation system for critics based on four criteria: Structure, cinematography, symbolism, and sound.
Website:
Restructured the website into six sections: IMDBrief, Top List, Casting Calls, IMDB News, Awards, and Top Reviews from real film critics.
A customized film detail page offers a truly immersive user experience that tells a story. The reviews section is separated into three parts: Critics’ reviews, the new rating scores, and user reviews.
App:
IMDB App offers daily recommendation cards that introduce the top three viewed movies created by users.
Video Editing:
IMDB wants to cultivate and promote the art and technique of filmmaking through social media and cross-cultural awareness.
IMDB Film Festival:
IMDB will have its own film festival, including red carpet premiere events, meetups, interviews, advance member screenings, and more.
