Week2 Facebook Redesign

Facebook Redesign

Our social life can be extremely diverse, and we have developed different sides to deal with our different social positions since when we were small children. Most of the time we show quite different faces or personalities and characters to our teachers, friends, co-workers and family members. But when this diversification comes to our digital social applications, such as Facebook, it can be a problem to organize and classify them in different categories. Facebook has tried to help its users classify their friends by putting them in additional smaller categories, but putting our friends on Facebook in different groups and managing those groups can be very frustrating.

My concept for a Facebook redesign is to try to find a way to for its users to manage their own personality sides more easily.

We do not really need make groups because people already make themselves into “ groups” by inputting their basic information on their own profiles.

Facebook can use that information to analyze each person and put them into groups for us. I want to design a filter function that can use keywords to filter and add exclusivity to a post. We can just type in a keyword to make our personal post to present to certian groups by location, education experiences, job experiences and languages.

When we open the Filter function, It  has two sides( as the picture below). The light blue part help us to make a post to filter certain groups friends and also filter friends who use certain type of language. The dark blue part can help us to filter the notifications in our pages to filter the information that we do not need to see in our Facebook.
