The new Facebook has been released but what are some of the changes about?

Navigating the profile

The profiles have been re-designed to allow you an easier navigation of all the ‘information’ people want to post up about themselves. I suppose with it normally expanding vertically 30 Million Pixels high to accommodate information was becoming tiresome, so tabs will help divide up the mess… I mean relevant information.

With a wider layout they’re not only opening out the sides of the design to counter app bloating, this could also open up more room for bigger pictures, videos and making use of the space allowing people to enjoy each other’s media and bigger adverts.

The tabs are also going to open up screen real estate for more interesting apps to take precedence on people’s profiles, which is good news for any virals like the Euroball widget. I wonder if it’s going to start making people wanting to organise their profiles more often too?

Old

New

Happy Packages - we put some virtual/digital boxes of happiness round the city and by various means, users can access the contents of the happy package, releasing anything from an SMS riddle to a Java game sent from our Bluetooth transmitters.

WHAT WE NEED!
Sketches / doodles / concepts for a brand/logo based on the Happy Package concept, so a box of love, man. Ideally it’d be stencillable…A 3D box with ribbon? We’re thinking simple design, just a box or something, with minimal detail. no more than 3 colours, pref 2.

WHAT WE’LL GIVE YOU!
£30 for a sketch-doodle-concept that we choose to develop (napkin ideas if you wish) Based on an honesty policy! You’ll see the thing develop so no stealing of your ideas for no money, and we want everyone to get involved, read the blog etc so no funny business. More cash available if a final article is delivered, but sketches & doodles are cool.
