Oh my, oh my…is it just me or are cover photos a royal pain?!

I wanted to change the cover photo on my business Facebook Page because I felt the graphic was outdated. This task turned out to be a nightmare. First, you have to figure out what size to create the graphic as, then you have to know the best way to save the graphic so it doesn’t loose quality when uploaded, then you have to adjust it to fit in the space allotted. Viola! Not so much. You look at it on a desktop and it looks good, then you look at it on a mobile phone and the profile picture circle is covering part of the design on one side and showing more blank space on the right. Back to the drawing board! Blah, blah, blah. Please tell me it’s not just me.

So I finally got it to where it’s satisfactory but if any of you have any tips, please share. Also, if you want me to share some of the things I learned, let me know.

Since I was on a mission to get the new cover photo on Facebook I decided to create a similar graphic for the header/banner on my blog. The other banner had animals that were created by someone else and as cute as they are, it is important to me to have animals on there that were created my moi.

I am no artist but I have been having a great time over the last few years or so tapping into some drawing, painting, etc. All I have so far for animals are the cat (my Cino) and the dog (my friend’s) that are in the banner. The purple and orange ribbons that are on the dog & cat’s tag and the orange and purple letters in my blog name are symbolic in awareness for animals in need. Purple is awareness on the connection between animal abuse & domestic violence. Orange is awareness on animals at high risk (neglect & abuse).

I am also collaborating with someone who will be supplying products with my cartoon/graphics on them. Another reason why I wanted the cover photo/header/banners to match and have these new cartoon graphics of mine on there. I will be selling these products and using the money earned to give to animals in need. Please consider purchasing something for yourself or an animal lover in your life. More details about this to come so please stay tuned.
