So, I've started to work on the layout and here[0] is my first try. As
mentioned above, I started from the profile page. There are some general
considerations that I'd like to make about things I've done. Here they
are:
* Footer sucks
* I have used colors from Pablo's svg but in the way I did it, it's
very close to last.fm. In my opinion we should work a bit more on it
and maybe change these colors.
* The search form drives the user to a detailed search page and he/she
will be able to choose which kind of data should be shown (users,
tags, songs etc).
* Player shortcut is too simple. Maybe we should do something to make
it more interesting to the user.
* Two very important things in the sidebar (my friends and my dents)
depends on external connections that is not so usual to users to
setup. We have to find a way to make it really simple and easy to
understand.
Now, I'm planning to work on the listen page and on the user settings
page. All of this work is following that wireframes that I shown
before. These wireframes are being created with Pencil[1]. You can find
png's here[2] and the `Source' file here[3]
Feedbacks are very much appreciated :)
