My page: We need the following
Stuff for his immediate attention – My messages, My friend invites, My
community invites, My wall messages
Picture with a dummy (placeholder) according to gender and a clear button from
where he can udpate his photo

2. Voice box: His voice profile where he can easily click and record. This is a small
player with a play button, a record button and a stop button. A single row
thing...not too big. This is so that the user can play his voice as well as upload it
right away]
[There will be a similar player and recorder for the video as well if the user has a
video. Else there will be an upload video button]
Profile listing
o Name, age, sex, location
o The option to fill his extended profile right there through interactive edit
areas. the extended profile fields are:
 Relationship status
 Looking for
 sexual orientation
 Education
 Occupation
 Interests
 Fav movies
 Fav music
Stats area: visitors to my profile, view for my content, comments that I have given
as well as the comments which have been given on my profile
Friends list
Communities list
Subscriptions to other people’s media…new stuff in subscriptions
Navigation for the following
o Upload more media
o Customize my channel
o Write on blog
o Manage friends list
o Manage communities
o Settings
Edit profile state: We can actually have the options to edit individual fields by clicking on
them from the profile itself (web 2.0 format). You just have to design the same page for
how it will look when the fields are open.
My Channel (as seen by other people):
 All the above mentioned fields. Except personal stuff like My messages etc. &
navigation links for customization
 A featured display area for his media,
 A navigation for all the options of social networking, bookmarking, sending
friend invite, sending a message, first couple of entries of his blog if they are
there, his events if he's an artist.
 An area where his latest blog entries are shown as well
 Latest Wall messages

3. Note: You can create separate pages for artists, non artists and both as well or one pge so
that it accommodates both states without looking funny when one is not there.... [In the
registration page, we have a section on which the user declares whether he's an artist or a
simple user or both. On the backend, information of an artist is his original work and the
copyright belongs to him and for a non-artist, the infromation can come from any source.
For an artist, we have other facilities as well, like events, galleries, special search etc. for
a non-artist, we have other options, for both we have to provide a profile which can
accommodate both]
