01
The idea
I wanted a wallpaper app that feels as good as the art it shows. Many wallpaper apps are crowded and use small previews, so Anima puts the artwork first and keeps the interface quiet.
02
What I did
I designed the full mobile experience end to end: sign-in, home feed, wallpaper detail, anime collections, search with filters, favorites and profile, along with the visual style and reusable components.
03
Research & inspiration
I reviewed how existing wallpaper and gallery apps handle browsing. Small previews, busy screens and hard-to-find categories came up often, so I focused on large tall cards, collections by anime and quick filters by color and style.
04
Design process
A dark interface lets the wallpapers stand out, with a single lime accent for key actions like download and favorites. A floating bottom bar keeps navigation within thumb reach, and the detail screen shows each wallpaper full screen with download, share and save actions.

05
What I learned
Designing around content taught me to let the visuals lead: fewer UI elements, bigger previews and a strict palette made the app feel calmer. Next I would explore onboarding and a live wallpaper preview.
