Are you a Dutch kid from the 80’s or 90’s? Then there’s a pretty good chance you had an intense-colored Hyves-profile. Just before it’s crash and bankruptcy in the mid 2000’s, it had more than 9 million active useraccounts. It was all before Facebook took over.
For an assignment during my Ironhack UX/UI Design study, I practiced my UI-skills by redesigning the popular Hyves-profile platform. It was known for customizable profile pages, creating and attending own groups and, of course, the dancing banana. For everyone who is’nt Dutch, or under 25, let me introduce him, so you get a bit of the feeling.
