This is such a warm, generous community and I need some help/advice/thoughts on the images I should use on my Facebook page. I want to make some changes and I'm wondering what you think.
Currently I use the following images:
This one, a pillow I designed and made is my Facebook profile picture. It's a project I made, in my favorite color with fabric I sold.
This is my cover photo: a quilt I designed by slicing blocks, in my school colors of blue and yellow (gold) that I used to sit on at games. It's colorful, my own creation, but I feel like the photo is a bit blurry on my Facebook page. You can see them here. Take a peek and see what you think. Then, consider some of my other ideas below!
So, here's what I am wondering: do those "work" as the profile picture and the cover photo? When you see them, do they catch your eye? Do you think "oh... fabric..." OR should I go in a totally different direction to speak more to fabric themselves, vs finished projects like this little ditty I created in PicMonkey? It would go in place of the blue and yellow quilt.
OR should I go with something that shows more of the Etsy/Ebay stores names, it's more of a header than a photo?
Or is that too busy? Should I work on a single image that shows fabric?
OR how about using that colorful fabric as a background for my profile image, like this?
I can play around with the size of the black overlay, print type, size, etc, too, like this:
I kind of like the rainbow fabric background. What do you think? I could go with a single piece, like this, as well:
If you have a chance today, could you stop by my Etsy shop or my Ebay listings and look at the fabric: would any of that be "perfect"? Should I use just one (like the yellow above), multiples (like the "banner" I tried) or stick with a project?
I would love to hear from you via email or comments below. Over the weekend, I'm going to "go for a change" so let me know today or tomorrow what you think!
Leave me a comment or zip me an email and one of my of my fans will get a special thank you!!
Thanks oodles!

I think the pillow for your profile photo is fine, I love the pillow. My personal choice would be an actual photo of you, but that's just me.
ReplyDeleteI agree your wonderful sliced blocks quilt is blurry in the cover photo. I really love the single image that shows the solid fabric. Something like that can be easily changed for new collections or it's fresh enough to stay for a long time.
Thanks, Jan!! I was thinking about profile being me, but so many business pages have the business name.... I appreciate your thoughts!
ReplyDeleteCarrie,
ReplyDeleteI looked at your Etsy page, and on the first page there's a quilt block made out of the bright Tonga fabrics. How about something really brilliant like that, with either a photo of your lovely face, or your business name, attached?
