What are some really cute ideas for a profile picture on Facebook?

Creative Facebook Profile Picture Ideas

• Answer:

  The choice of profile picture for your Facebook account tells viewers a great deal. The photo communicates how you want the world to see you: your personality, activities and self-image. If your Facebook picture is tired or boring, look for a creative way to get your personality across to your friends and family members. Pop Art Turn your profile picture into a work of art for a bold, colorful change. Pick a photo that does not have a great deal of detail and put it into Photoshop, Picnik or your preferred photo management program. Adjust the colors so they are bold and over the top; don't worry about natural skin tones or a realistic look. Play with the saturation and contrast until you get a dramatic, Andy Warhol-esque effect. Jumping Shot If you want to show your Facebook friends that you are fun and energetic, go with a jumping picture for your profile. A jumping shot can take quite a few tries to get right; find a patient friend or use the self-timer on your camera. Look for a dramatic background or one that is meaningful to you, set the camera up, and start jumping. Try different arm and leg positions and look straight into the camera with a big smile for the strongest photo. You can also have someone shoot from low enough so you are framed against the sky. Flying Broomsticks For a comical picture that is sure to get a smile, make it look as if you are flying on a broomstick. Put a broomstick between your legs as though you are flying on it. Bend your knees and jump as high as you can, holding onto the front of the stick with both hands. You can also jump off an object and crop it out in the final photo. The picture will look as if you are suspended in midair on the broomstick. Photo Display Facebook's layout displays the most recent five tagged photos of you across the top of the profile. Take a closeup picture of your face and split it into six parts: one for the main photo and five that will display across the top of the page. Crop the picture so the main profile photo is of the side of your face. Split the remainder of the photo into five photos. Make it more dramatic by focusing on a section of the face, such as your eyes and nose. Tag each of the five photos, starting from the far right and working to the left. The result will be a large display of part of your face across the entire top of the profile.
