Want to come up with a great design for a Facebook Page tab? The 960 grid system has become a standard among many we designers and developers and now one developer, Goran Mitic, has created the 520 grid system for Facebook Page designers and developers.
The team over at JESS3 is currently working on a custom zine with illustrations about social media. This morning I saw Jesse post the following image below and found it to be pretty clever and of course it looks pretty slick. While you may claim that you’re actually getting work done, all of us here at AllFacebook know what you are really doing.

This morning Facebook rolled out a new design for events, moving the previous sidebar to the left hand sign and making things much cleaner. The new events design also includes much larger call-to-actions at the top right of the event, asking users to select “I’m Attending”, “Maybe”, or “No” as was previously the case. The new layout resembles the new homepage design much more. It also is a step away from profiles and Facebook Pages which have had an increasingly consistent design.

The artist Charis Tsevis, has apparently hit on a pretty clever design theme that has now been duplicated for multiple influentials, including Mark Zuckerberg. Wired magazine contracted with Tsevis for the magazine’s U.K. edition to create a mosaic portrait of the company’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg. It’s a pretty slick technique which has now been duplicated for Steve Jobs, Barack Obama, and many others, all of which you can view on artist’s website.

This evening Facebook began testing a new feature that displays featured images for those users who “have very few friends” as a way to get them engaged. The feature, which was first spotted by hotlou.com, has a design which resembles large online media publications like Gawker media, and even Techcrunch. With large featured images at the top, the aim is to get stories that will get the user engaged, rather than displaying an empty feed.

Back in April of last year Facebook began testing a new ad format, but not until the latest design screenshots did we begin to see the new format reappear. Also interestingly enough, Facebook is currently displaying automatically generated “Suggestions” above the advertisements. The reason I call it “interesting” is that we would expect this to detract from the ads which are generating revenue for Facebook.

Facebook has been continuously iterating on their new design with the latest version showing a new location for Facebook Chat. Over the past few weeks we have been receiving messages from users who have been part of Facebook’s ongoing user testing of the new homepage design, however this latest design has one significant change: Facebook Chat has been moved to the sidebar.
