Primary Goal & Design Considerations
Textron feels that the design of SharePoint 2010 MySites is too basic/too bland as offered in the out-of-the-box Microsoft configuration. Desire is to apply a more interesting, inviting look and feel for the MySite pages, while retaining all the functionality of the MySites.
Requirements
- Design the MySite Profile page with the following features and functionalities (for complete details of these features, please see this documentation):
- Personal Photo
- myNewsfeed
- myContent
- myProfile
- Overview
- Ask Me About
- Recent Activities
- myOrganization Chart
- In Common With You
- Search People
- Organization (visual map)
- Content (library)
- Tags & Notes
- Colleagues
- Memberships
- leave the logo area blank and indicate a placeholder where a logo could go in the banner area.
- this page will be branded as ERIC Connect, but there is no logo for that at this time and should not use any other logo.
- make sure your design is feasible or can be executed in SharePoint 2010.
For reference, please see the provided sample layout design (out-of-the-box-profile.jpg and styled-profile.jpg) or visit SharePoint product info

- the company is Textron (Cessna, Bell, EZGO, etc...) and their portal is http://sandbox.exnihilo.com/eric-portal/home.html
- we are looking for something similar to the portal BUT not exactly the same and at the same time NOT a different design
- it should still compliment the colors and general feel of the main portal, but not copying it closely
- the company wants employee to sense that they are leaving the portal to enter the collaboration space
Target Audience
