Background
This is a self-driven project.
Facebook is facing a decline in user-generated content (see here). I believed it's something that was largely influenced by the current design of Facebook Newsfeed. I thought the current design doesn't encourage users to post his/her own content. For example, the "update status" section doesn't stay at the top and clicking it opens a new pop-up page which I personally finds quite daunting and makes feel less inclined to share about my personal life.
These are my aims for the re-design:
1. Encourage users to update status and contribute to their newsfeed
2. Encourage users to communicate to each other (commenting on photos)
