Facebook Profile

When dealing with Social Networks on the Internet, Facebook is a key player and whether we like this social arena of Mr. Everybody or not… what is important is to create a Facebook Profile that reflects who we are or how we wish to present ourselves when it comes to Social Network Publishing.

Besides being in control of our names – ideally as a .com – the next step is to upload a Facebook Profile Picture.

While my usual colour scheme is reflected on the white-black-silver-red version below , I tried to play with Facebook and integrated their illustruous variety of blue hues in a soft degrade – the above is a screenshot and not as sharp as in reality.  When trying to define a color, you’ll notice that the color code changes with almost every new placement of your color picker – amazing!

I intentionally didn’t want to start off with a tone-in-tone of their grey in my top picture frame, but rather have it flow in and merge in a more dynamic yet unobtrusive way.

The little thumbnail works perfectly well, but too much traffic on Facebook or slow connections down here in South Africa probably caused the error when I did the Screenshot above.
