Cnema: A Cinematic
Ticketing Experience

Step into the future of movie ticketing. Cnema redefines the experience, blending elegant design with seamless functionality to bring the magic of the cinema directly to your fingertips.

The Spark of Inspiration

Beyond Functionality

Existing global and local ticketing apps served their purpose but lacked the essential “cinematic vibe.” They were transactional, not transformative.

The Emotional Gap

The anticipation, the mood, the depth before a movie begins—this emotional connection was missing. Cnema was born to fill that void.

Immersive Experience

Our goal was to design an app that makes users feel like they’re already inside the theater, from the very first screen.

Navigating the Cinematic Journey

Our user flow strategy prioritizes clarity and a focused journey, ensuring every step feels intuitive and immersive.

Core Journeys

Onboarding: Splash → Login → Home
Discovery: Search + Smart Filters, Tabbed Categories
Detail & Review: Cinema View, Reviews, Confirmation
Booking: Seat Selection, Time, Payment, Ticket View
Profile: Bookings, Favorites, Payments, Settings

Crafting the Visual Motif

A meticulously designed system underpins Cnema’s immersive aesthetic, blending dark tones with subtle cinematic accents.

Color Palette

#1A1D29: Primary Background
#007BFF: Secondary Accent (Buttons)
#192031: Secondary Depth
#1E3352: Soft Blue Highlights
#4B5563: Muted UI Elements

Typography

Inter: Clean, legible, and modern, chosen for its small-scale contrast and minimalist tone, enhancing readability in a dark theme.

System & Logic

Cnema’s design system is built on modularity and consistency, ensuring a seamless and responsive experience across all screens.

Reusable Components

Modular cards, popups, and forms ensure design consistency and efficient development.

Grid-Based Layout

Structured spacing ensures responsive design and visual harmony on diverse screen sizes.

Interaction Design: The Cinematic Flow

Every interaction in Cnema is crafted to enhance the immersive experience, emulating cinematic pacing and fluidity.

Smart Animate Transitions: Gentle guidance between screens, reducing cognitive load.
Smooth Popup Filters: Non-intrusive overlays that enhance discovery without disrupting the core flow.
Subtle Microinteractions: Delightful feedback for actions like tab switching, review input, and payment transitions.
