Cover Photos: The RulesThou Shalt Not:

Cover Photo Tips
• Consider how the photo looks displayed on a computer screen, tablet, and mobile phone. Check your page out on each, if possible.
• Ask fans what they think of your cover photo… and actually listen! Your own perception is understandably biased.
