3.0 Profile Page Concept

SCRATCH: 3.0 MENU CONCEPT
Due to Scratch 3.0 recently being released without some pages being upgraded to the 3.0 format, I thought it was be time to share a concept.

more details below the image


NEW FEATURES:
  • It is not shown here, although one of the potential features of this concept would be an improvement to the About Me/WIWO. When logged in, you would be able to change your About Me to something else (Ex: it could say ‘What I do’ or ‘Shoutouts’). If both columns had the same descriptor, they will merge together, making only 1 box (so you could have a 500 character About me instead of a 250 character one with a WIWO. I think this will add more customization, and would make it so people have more room to type.
    PROOF OF CONCEPT:

  • Easier Navigation. You may notice that there are no ‘show all’ buttons. You also might notice the text for ‘Projects’, ‘Studios’, or ‘Followers’ is blue. I think instead of a show all button, you just have to click the text itself. Favorite projects? Just click the text that says ‘favorites’. While it might take getting used to, I think it would assist in making the site easier to navigate.

DOWNSIDES:
  • The shape of the different sections. When designing this concept, I wanted to make it look fun and interesting by adding different sized and shaped things. A downside to this would be the ‘aesthetic’ studios. The favorite projects section, and the studio section, have been limited to 2 items seen at a time. This would break the ‘I don’t follow studios’ text art. This would lead to many profiles simply saying ‘I don’t’, and it would lead to some anger.
  • it can be confusing. That’s it. The changes could be confusing to some users, new and old. For example, the following and followers sections are combined. That was just an idea, and it probably won’t work as well as I assumed

FORGOT TO ADD:
  • I didn’t end up adding the ‘scroll arrows’ (found in the ‘projects’ area). The arrows still exist.
  • Didn’t demonstrate the Recent Activity area. I was thinking either it being just text (like it is right now), or making it so it shows you the project thumbnail (so you can see a better representation of what project they loved, or who they followed.





Anyways, that’s about it. I hope the concept looks good, and if you have any feedback, let me know! I would like to know what to change/what to keep (for any future design concepts)

Wow! Thanks for sketching on this. You have some great ideas for the profile page. Love how you incorporated some of the new design from the project page. Also cool to see how you shifted the scale of elements on the page: there is a lot more emphasis on the “Featured Project”.

We are really excited to keep working on all the pages that still need to be updated, especially the Profile page. We will def refer back to some of your ideas and things you explored when we start redesigning the Profile page.

I'll be honest, I prefer the layout of the current system. I like how there are neat rows of everything in the current version, whereas your idea gives us areas that don't exactly look sorted, especially “Favorites” — it just seems out of place. In particular, I think “Recent Activity” might be a bit small in your version.

That being said, I'm all for updating the profile page to look more like the project page. The sleek design is definitely cool, and you have some other cool ideas (clicking on the “favorites” text rather than “show all”). I really like the picture you present here — I just think the overall layout should look similar to what we currently have.

Thank you! Yeah, that was one of my concerns, it being deorganized. I do agree the recent activity is too small.
Thanks for your feedback

Other than rearranging/reorganizing, it would be cool if we could format things the way that we can here on the forums - italics, bold text, underlining and all. Maybe not to the full extent, as that could get a little messy, but certainly some of these feature could be used to further customize and individualize profiles :3

I like it, it makes it look less like the site is just a “Frankenstein” of 2.0 and 3.0.
But I still think the unnecessary minimalism is just kinda.. eh. Maybe an option to decide what layout you want would be nice?

Nice! This would fit with the project pages design. I think that the sections below the “shared projects” one should stay in one line (I'm not sure how to describe this, do you understand what I'm trying to suggest?), it would look better in my opinion.

Great sketch though!

A couple things.

I like your idea for the expanded About Me/WIWO - it would be incredibly useful and could also serve for a nice visual effect, like the way the Notes and Credits section expands on projects if Instructions is left blank. I also like the color scheme, though I think there should be more contrast between the blue sections and the white background.

I honestly prefer the current 2.0 layout over the one you're proposing - to me, it just seems more organized and better to have all of the sections in rows - and the layout of your mockup potentially deprives projects of attention (5 vs 4 projects in the shared section, 5 vs 2 projects in favorites, etc). However, I like the way you put more focus on the featured project moar clicks yayayayayayay
