Synopsis

I’m honestly so thankful for the services Amazon provides. As a designer though, I think they are due for a major design refresh.

I very specifically use the word “refresh” here because I think that a complete design overhaul could cause a lot of trouble since it’s been used by millions of users across the globe.

Hence, this is something new that I’ve tried for the first time. A design refresh. I’ve “flattened” out the Amazon app, removed unnecessary gradients, borders and obsolete drop downs and replaced it with a more 2021 like design. i have taken lots of inspiration from H&M ‘s mobile app. Despite being an affordable brand, their app looks quite premium as compared to Amazon’s.
