Reminds me a lot of the MySpace redesign video a few months back.

#12Visually pretty, but the grid is completely non-functional. I don't know where to start looking to get at the information I go to Facebook to find. The other pages look better, but still seem to be a summation of current design trends rather than any sort of innovative new way to display the information (which is fine, but not interesting to me). I also agree that it looks a lot nicer because of the high-end stock ph…
Exactly. I do like the visual updates but I think the focus wasn't on making it a better experience.

#13Have to admire how thorough the designer was. Redesigning even the "events" pages? That's some level of detail there.
And this redesign will probably work across tablets and phones too, as everything is "big" and "tablety".
But I would not want my Facebook profile to turn into a Metro UI-esque photo collage lacking detail or order.

#14It looks good but it doesn't seem like it would be as useful as the actual Facebook design. It also remind me of the new MySpace design.

#15"nice" to look at, absolutely terrible to scan. I don't know where to begin and the 'noise levels' on every element is pretty much the same, making me feel very lost. Imagine a layman using this.

#16It kind of looks a little like the new myspace..

#17Pretty from an artistic point of view, but the Win 8 design influences are clearly visible. The only place I've seen the Metro look really good and functional is on Windows Phone. The ascetic doesn't work on the desktop. It kind of works on tablet (Surface) but the massive UX problems with Win8 prevent a clear analysis of the style in that form factor.

#18Imagine this design with poorly filtered instagram pictures and fishy facebook application ads all over the place, instead of brilliantly lighted professional photographs of beautiful women.
It's a great work of art from a design perspective, but quite unfeasible to turn into the real thing.

#19I always wanted to like behance, but they never hired engineers, only designers, and I could never get the site to work consistently.
uh, and what makes you think that? I work in the NY tech sector and would argue the opposite. The Behance network has one of the better tech teams in the city.
