Dustin Curtis was definitely inspiration for this project. As well as the Big Noob's take on craigslist, and of course, "You're Killing Me Zappos" by Metaladdesign.
Not my idea, not even close. Inspired by designers who are much better than me,
totally, if were to get a position, I don't I'd rush into anything.And as I build, I would definitely have a place where I could show it and gather feedback.
The truth there being my friend and I running web design competitions haha, I've adopted blueprint css as a quick and easy framework for these types of situations.
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.
