How to create Facebook covers online?

Facebook is one of the most popular social media channels and we can say a vast majority of people with the internet access has a Facebook account. If you are one of those lucky people to have that, you might want a Facebook cover to stand out. The Facebook cover is actually not something everyone has because it’s only a year-two old gadget, but it’s usually the first thing someone coming to your account, sees.

The Designer has a special format that suits best for Facebook covers and if you wish to show something spectacular, please read on, as we have some great tips on how to create a fun and personal Facebook cover.

The perfect Facebook cover

First of all, let’s start by adding some Facebook guidelines. They do have their own tips on what the Facebook cover should look like, find them here: Facebook guidelines.

As said previously, Facebook cover is usually the first thing people see when they browse you account. Cover and profile picture together should give the viewer a pretty accurate first impression of you.

When you own a business or jst want a more formal and nice-looking Facebook page, there are some great tips to improve your Facebook cover.

Here they are:

1. Use a photo that is the representation of you or what you stand for/do as a business. It’s very important you show the thing you are focusing on your page – whether it’s a photography business, or a shoe shop, the first look at your cover photo, should tell a viewer, whether they want to stay or leave.

2. Use a picture that has an emotion – best is to choose something that makes people happy and/or thinking about the issue/product your account is associated.

3. Pick vibrant colors, or if you are a business owner, choose the colors that your logo or website already has. This way you have consistency and people will always remember you with certain colors.

4. Use fonts and colors that are easy to read – colors that pop out from the background are great fonts that are popular and readable.

5. When using a text or a slogan, try to place it in the center or to the left. People read from left to right, so eyes automatically usually go to the left to look for the text. You can also place your text to the right if the main focus (like you main product) is on the left.
