Cover Photo
The difference between your cover photo and profile picture is that your profile image reveals up in user's feeds, whereas your cover image only exists on your Facebook page. When your fans visit your page, you have an opportunity to interact something important. So what should your cover image appear like, then? Change out that trite band photo with one of these six innovative (and reliable!) concepts.
Facebook Cover Photo Site
1. Put your trip dates front and center
Your timeline photo is a terrific place to display what you're currently dealing with in a billboard-style image. If you're touring a new album, develop an engaging background with fragments of your cover art, and sprawl your trip dates across in a tidy, understandable design.
The key is to make it aesthetically appealing with traces of your music tethered into the design. Simply having the dates will not suffice. When Los Angeles-based singer BANKS went on trip with The Weeknd, she took pieces of her London EP cover and created a very little, branded cover picture with her tour dates spread across her signature monochromatic image. The outcome is her EP artwork being extended into her tour promotions through her cover picture.
2. Develop a collage.
The dimensions for of a cover photo are best for creating a collage of your band's experiences and successes. When Sigur Ros launched their 2012 world tour, they used fan photos found on Instagram through their hashtag #sigurroslive and made a spectacular collage of different shots from their live shows around the world.
Their cover image was especially imaginative because it took fan art and exposed it to their around the world following. Other collage ideas could be all of your albums to this day or images of the band on the road.
3. Integrate your profile image.
This is a popular pattern, generally because it's smart and visually pleasing. Social network users produce a scene with their cover photo and use their profile picture to connect to the scene.
It could be your diva holding a microphone in the profile image, and the mic stand and the rest of the band performing in your cover picture. The key to this trick is a smooth connection. The colors need to be the same, and the sizing must be specific. This might take a little trial and error, so be sure to design it and evaluate it out first.
4. Have a call-to-action.
Your cover picture is a great place to ask your fans to engage with your music. Sam Smith utilized his cover picture to ask his fans to elect him at the 2015 Brit Awards. He used the photograph from his launching album with a clear call-to-action for his fans to choose the album. And naturally, he put the link in the description.
Like I said previously, your cover image resembles your own social media billboard. Do you have something to ask of your fans? Develop an imaginative design with very little text, ask them through your cover photo, and always put further directions in the description.
5. Promote a hashtag.
Hashtags are the connecting points we follow to engage with fans. If you're hosting a live-stream of your brand-new album, create a hashtag for followers to use while they stream. They can tag their images and listening experience. Your cover photo is an excellent location to motivate your follows to use a trending hashtag that's pertinent to your music.
Maybe it's the title of your new album or your band's name with 2015 attached. In any case, create a catchy hashtag that will bring brand-new people to your music, along with enable you to see who your fans are and how they engage with your music.
6. Showcase your audience.
Your cover picture is a terrific place to showcase your audience. This is particularly reliable if the picture is from behind the phase, so the audience can see what you see while you're playing live. One Instructions took an image from behind the stage at a huge arena show; the whole crowd was lit up, and fans tagged themselves in the photo. Give your fans a possibility to tag themselves so they can record their memories through your cover image.
Find among the best live images from behind the stage-- and even a picture you drew from the phase yourself-- and develop it to fit your cover photo's measurements (851x315). Showcasing your audience and the excitement of your live show is always favorable.
