Stream - Modern Event Discovery & Ticket Booking Experience

01 — Overview

This project focuses on designing a seamless end-to-end experience for discovering events, exploring nearby shows, booking tickets, and managing user profiles — all within one cohesive mobile app. The goal was to create a personalized, visually immersive, and intuitive event-booking journey that helps users find events that match their interests while making the process effortless and enjoyable.

The result is a clean, modern interface with a dark theme that elevates event visuals, improves focus, and creates a premium nightlife-inspired feel.

Users who want to find and book events typically face a number of challenges:

• Event discovery is often scattered across different platforms

• Filtering and searching for the right event is cumbersome

• Ticket management is confusing and lacks transparency

• UI in many event apps feels outdated and overwhelming

• Onboarding flows do not support personalization

This redesign aims to solve these pain points through clarity, personalization, and simplicity.

03 — Research Insights

04 — UX Strategy

1. Onboarding That Builds Trust and Personal Relevance

The onboarding screen uses:

• A stunning background visual to immerse users

• Clear CTAs (Login / Sign up)

• Friendly messaging (“Let’s go to your favourite event now”)

This immediately sets the app’s tone — energetic, modern, and user-focused.

2. Personalized Home Screen for Instant Engagement

The home dashboard includes:

• A personalized greeting (“Hi, Gurjot S.”)

• A dedicated section for Your Ticket Events

• Horizontally scrollable event cards for quick visual scanning

This structure helps users re-engage with events they’ve booked and discover new ones.

3. Smart Event Discovery With Filters

• Category tags (Music, Dance, Social, Conference, etc.)

• A clean grid of large event cards

• High-quality visuals that make browsing enjoyable

The layout encourages exploration while minimizing cognitive load.

This visual approach makes the app feel modern and immersive.
