Facebook Picture Opinion

    I'm just wondering where everyone found the pictures for the top of their facebook things. I know it's sort of a stupid conversation to start but I found the perfect picture for it while browsing deviant art the other day, but I don't want to use someone else's property. It feels weird to me, of course I might want to just do it while I can. Anyway, if other people have used pictures that they didn't take I know I'll feel better about it.

    If its a creative commons copyright you can use the photo as long as you give credit. As a member of the deviant art community I would suggest sending them a message and asking if you can use the photo with accreditation, most people's issues come from people using the art without asking or without giving the artist credit.

    I make my own, not as extravagant as those pros, however.  I use "Picasa"  ...free program, doesn't take much memory on your computer.  It's a partner with Google I think.  So easy once you play with it a little bit.  You'll wanna know the dimensions of those cover pics when you use picasa.  it is:  850x315  ...850 pixels long and 315 tall....  I love graphic art :)  My man does it.  He went to college for it.  I recommend watching some tutorials on youtube to get the hang of it.

    OR you can go to a website like http://www.myfbcovers.com/
    they're popping up all over...

    Yes, you should really ask. Chances are the artist won't mind, but really, it's common courtesy. I am a member of deviantart as well, and always agree whenever anyone wants to use one of my photos, but it is only polite to let them add a watermark for credit.

    Mine is the same header I use on my blog and the same picture I used as my icon here. It's a coffee themed greeting card I made and adored so much I couldn't send it to anyone. I still have it too.

    You can also just search for FB covers on google or whatever. You'll get tons of links.

    Mine was a pic of me in Chicago...then I saw some really neat ones on some cover sites...if you google FB Covers or Timeline Covers...there are plenty of sites you can grab one off of. Currently mine is a pic of the cast of Big Bang Theory. Love that show!

    I made a collage of my favorite family photos, using my standard Windows Paint program.

    I used a picture I had taken with my iphone. There are a couple of apps that let you edit your personal photos. It's puts a really nice touch to your own creations.
