Clear example of frontend designer not understanding the primary uses of the site he is redesigning. Myspace users don't want Myspace to look like Facebook, otherwise they would just use Facebook.
- ramchip 17y agoThe designer's concept is about customizable widgets, it's not about facebook. I think it may make sense: typical myspace users LOVE filling their page with glitter, photos, music and all sorts of customization, so his idea is in line with the Myspace concept. I'll agree that the demo page is a bit bland in that respect though.
- Nouman 17y agoHey Guys, it's the creator Nouman here. I think one of the ideas I wanted to bring to the table was to firstly--refresh the site outside of profiles. I know the design on pages like music, settings, blogs, and so on could use an update and should first be targeted. Secondly, it shouldn't have to 'look' like facebook. The main idea is to leave profiles the way they are for users; however, provide much more simple users with visual tools to edit theme options like text color, and background color, but like I said-leave the hardcore users with their html.
- Nouman 17y agoHere's an example of what I mean: http://myspacehire.me/settings/ http://myspacehire.me/settings/ vs http://myspacehire.me/settings/settings.png http://myspacehire.me/settings/settings.png I haven't linked this out much, but with the current heat I'm getting I think my intentions should be seen as not a facebook copy
