GiftParty
GiftParty is a group gifting application intended for Facebook.
It allows many users to contribute to a single gift, for example to purchase someone a gift for their birthday, or to chip in for party supplies.
Our application is available to view at http://www.facebook.com/apps/applic…7885195805
or
http://apps.facebook.com/giftparty
It is currently in testing, semi-public only for that reason.
Please feel free to navigate and understand the aesthetic environment it that the buttons and icons will be meshing with, but please do not spread the application yet, as it is still under development.
***Any purchases or orders made with the system will not be honored while the application is in testing, please do not attempt. You may progress the steps if you wish to see the step graphic in action, but do _not_ confirm***
We are targeting any users of Facebook, so ideal target demographics would likely be college students and post-college professionals. Design should be broadly appealing though.
Require two buttons and six icons that mesh with the application and Facebook's visual environment.
One button will be for starting a party. Text: "Start a Party!"
One button will be for contributing. Text: "Contribute!"
The six icons represent "steps" for contributing or hosting a party.
These steps are:
-Party Details
-Gift Selection
-Secure Payment
-Review and Confirm
-Invite Friends
-Party!
Each icon will appear next to the text of its relevant step.
Red text highlights the location of the start party button and the icons here:

Orange text highlights the location of the contribute button here:

The visual style of the step bar is not final and if you have a proposal to make it match an icon set or more appealing, we would be open to it. It is styled via CSS.
Heights are not 100% strict, just a guideline:
Button 1, "Start a Party!" should be between 80-100px in width, and between 20-30px in height
Button 2, "Contribute!" should be between 70-90px in width, and between 20-30px in height
Icons may be whatever is pleasing, estimating around 15-30 px in width and heigh.
All graphics in 32-bit color
