Project Overview

A concept redesign exploring how YouTube's interface could be visually refined while preserving the intuitive experience users know and love.

This project takes YouTube's existing UI and gives it a visual polish—cleaner typography, refined spacing, and subtle improvements to the overall hierarchy. The goal wasn't to reinvent the wheel, but to demonstrate how thoughtful design refinements can elevate a familiar interface.

Design Philosophy

!NOTE The best redesigns don't make users relearn an interface—they make the existing experience feel more refined and intentional.

YouTube's current design works. Billions of people use it daily without friction. This redesign respects that foundation while exploring opportunities for visual enhancement:

  • Improved visual hierarchy — Subtle adjustments to weight and spacing that guide the eye more naturally
  • Cleaner aesthetics — Refined colors and shadows that feel more modern
  • Maintained familiarity — Everything is where users expect it to be

Key Refinements

Typography

Refined font weights and improved line heights for better readability across video titles and descriptions.

Spacing

More consistent padding and margins creating a cleaner, less cluttered visual rhythm.

Color

Subtle refinements to the color palette for improved contrast and visual comfort.

Components

Polished buttons, cards, and interactive elements with refined shadows and borders.


Conclusion

This concept demonstrates that impactful design doesn't always mean dramatic change. Sometimes the most effective improvements are the subtle ones—small refinements that collectively create a more polished, professional experience.
