A Letterboxd redesign concept I made for fun became trending and some reactions went way too far.
For a community that celebrates bold artistic choices in film every day, the reaction to a bold design choice was surprisingly hostile.
Critique is welcome, always. I learn from it. But a lot of what I received went far beyond that and had nothing to do with design at all.
Hostility and threats over a UI concept are never acceptable. Please keep in mind that there’s a real person behind the screen before hitting send.
This experience won’t stop me. I’ll keep creating, experimenting, and putting my work out there, because that’s the whole point 🩶
Lots of love, tom
