Crunchyroll Application Design
UI Challenge
Project Breakdown
The Crunchyroll Manga app provides users with unlimited access to a variety of the hottest manga emerging from Japan
What is the problem
I am a huge anime and manga fan! I'm always looking for online manga apps. One manga reader app that I (and my favorite Reddit page) feel like is not living up to it's full potential is the Crunchyroll manga app. It has not been updated since 2012.
As a small design challenge, I decided to redesign the UI by incorporating Crunchyroll's latest design system into the user interface and adding some new features.

What is the goal?
My goal in redesigning was to improve end-user usability, accessibility, and customer experience by examining competitor designs and popular market preferences.
Icons
In my design, I stayed true to the updated design system guidelines. In the design system, Crunchyroll had introduced new colors, gradients, icons, a new logo, and specifications for their mascot Crunchy Hime. In the new design, I added a library feature to keep users favorites saved to their accounts. I also introduced a rating system so over time users recommended titles will be perfectly tailored to them. Then to create a seamless experience, I incorporated buttons that were outlined by the original design system and created these additional icons in Adobe XD that are showcased above.
