Reel Feels
Reel Feels is an unconventional web app that I created to help you choose a movie based on your mood. The concept is simple, but not simplistic. You'll be asked several bizarre questions that will attempt to filter through movie suggestions to match what you're feeling at that moment. The Reel Feels app utilizes The MovieDB API to maintain the most relevant list of movies for its suggestions.View it livechevron_right
Design foundation
FontsThis app required some flexible fonts that would be extremely legible, while leveraging the heavy contrast of the interface. I chose to use Roboto as the primary font to emphasize the light-hearted language and comical attitude.
Colors
The colors and button states follow suite with bold saturation and contrast.

Solving the problem
The problem: Hopelessly searching through Netflix, Hulu, and the like to find the perfect movie or show to satisfy your current mood.Most of us have likely been there. With that in mind, I knew there had to be some engaging way to search through a movie catalog without expending too much mental energy. I felt that simply answering a few odd questions might help with finding a solid movie match — or at the very least, point you in the right direction. Lastly, limiting the movie results to a max of three should help eliminate paralysis by indecision.
