MUBI is an online streaming service which shows a selection of high-quality films from all genres. The streaming service is more unique and exclusive than that of its rivals (Netflix, amazon prime video) offering just 30 films per month, as they believe in offering quality, not quantity, which is the opposite of what their rivals offer.
Looking at the user interface which MUBI offers it became apparent was the use of imagery on the screen, always large clear shots from the movies which are featured on the website, this style of large imagery is paired with Helvetica condensed bold type which is legible and strong yet it also brings out the image to, this style also adds layers which make the images pop on the screen.
The website is set up to accentuate the images of shots from the films which the website is streaming. The site layout is legible and gives each movie its own row of space on the screen, it tells the viewer clearly the title, director, year, country and how long is left to watch the movie. The images are always large high resolution and clear screen shots from the movie.
When listing movies which have been on the site, MUBI use a thumbnail style system which gives each movie a square space of which is filled with an image from the movie and has the type over it, this can be problematic with some titles for example above these black and white movies sometimes render the type illegible and both elements blend into one and other.
MUBI's website also features an article page with articles on, for example, cinema, actors and awards announcements, updated daily so that movie fans can keep an eye on the latest news on the cinema world. These articles are usually very in depth and are very point driven, sometimes to a dry level, this could be improved with using more imagery or focussing on one element of the article rather than dragging out stories which is tedious to read.
