Problem Statement
The organization previously managed movie ticket bookings manually, resulting in long queues, errors, and inefficiency. The objective was to create a digital solution that would:
Simplify the booking process for both the customers and the organization.
Eliminate the need for physical paperwork and queues.
Provide a seamless and intuitive experience for users, even those not familiar with digital platforms.

Research and Inspiration
Inspiration from Existing Apps: To ensure the app was user-friendly and effective, I took inspiration from existing movie ticket booking apps such as BookMyShow. I focused on identifying key features and design patterns that provide a smooth user experience, such as intuitive navigation, clear movie details, and easy seat selection.
Understanding User Needs: Considering the user base's transition from a manual booking process, the design needed to be straightforward and easy to use, with minimal learning curve, ensuring that users of all ages could navigate the app easily.
03
Design Process
Screen Design: I focused on designing key screens that are essential for the movie booking process:
Home Screen: Displays a list of available movies along with showtimes, ensuring users can quickly see what's playing.
Movie Selection: Provides a detailed view of selected movies, including descriptions, ratings, and other essential details to help users make informed decisions.
Seat Selection: Allows users to view the seating layout and select their preferred seats.
Future Screens:
Payment Module: This will enable users to enter payment details and confirm their bookings.(Prototype of this screen is in progress.)
Booking Confirmation: A screen that will summarize the booking details and confirm the transaction, providing users with a ticket or booking reference. (Prototype of this screen is in progress.)
Design Challenges: Designing the seat selection interface was particularly challenging, as it required creating an intuitive way for users to select seats on small screens.
04
Testing and Iteration
Usability Testing: Preliminary usability tests will be conducted after the interaction between screens is completed. These tests will gather feedback on the entire booking process, from movie selection to confirmation, ensuring a smooth user experience.
Iteration: Based on the feedback from these tests, necessary adjustments will be made to improve navigation, refine UI elements, and enhance the overall user experience.
Next Steps: After completing the interactions and conducting usability testing, the next phase will involve refining the prototype based on user feedback and integrating the payment and booking confirmation modules.
