Retro Reel Timer — Minimal Cartoon UI A playful reinterpretation of a classic reel-to-reel timer, redesigned with a softer colour palette, simplified shapes and a clean cartoon-inspired visual style. The interface keeps the nostalgic character of analogue recording equipment while presenting the controls in a modern, friendly and easy-to-understand layout.

The design focuses on strong visual hierarchy, balanced spacing and clear interaction states. Bold timer typography, rounded controls and subtle depth help the interface feel approachable without becoming visually cluttered, creating a distinctive concept suitable for a mobile timer, audio recorder or productivity application.

The reel spools doubling as eyes is a smart way to add character without adding extra elements, keeps the layout clean while still being playful. Nice fit for a productivity tool that doesn't want to feel sterile.

I redesigned the website for this project, keeping its core elements while making it more modern and techy with dark mode by default, eye-catching floating animations, and improved color contrast.

Do you think the redesign I made in Figma is better? Or is the original version better?

Both of them looks nice but I can clearly see a big mistake on the footer the orig light page footer should be white or blue in color. @Grecia Valero that's why everyone's voted on the dark mode
