I’ve been doing a lot of work on the Facebook platform these days and kept finding myself presenting comps with personal information mistakenly included! I had taken screenshots of the various “chromes” that a designer has to create for a fan page, tabbed view, canvas view, friend pickers, dialogue boxes… The list of designs was huge and they all had my targeted ads in the rail and my name and message count sprayed about. Nonsense, I say! So I made an anonymized .PSD that I’d like to share. Highlights include:

• Generic names for all application areas
• Pleasant image placeholders that are the same size as those on Facebook
• Text treatments that are as close as possible to what Facebook shows you (it appears that Safari and Photoshop don’t quite render Tahoma identically)

This will be updated as I take on more projects that necessitate generic templates; let me know what you’d like to use most. Download
