NEW TUTORIAL: HOW TO MAKE A FACEBOOK TIMELINE

 

SO LOTS OF PEEPS HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR HOW TO MAKE A TIMELINE DESIGN.  THINK OF THEM IN TERMS OF A  TAG JUST LIKE ANY OTHER TAG, BUT STRETCHED. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS JUST THE PERSPECTIVE AND SIZING OF IT.  

TO BEGIN WITH OPEN A NEW CANVAS 830 X 315

YOU CAN GO WITH A BACKGROUN FIRST, AND THEN JUST ADD ELEMENTS LIKE YOU WOULD TO ANY TAG.  FOR THE ABOVE I USED THE KIT "AUTUMN IS HERE" BY ADRIENNE'S DESIGNS.  ONCE YOU HAVE PLACED EVERYTHING TO YOUR LIKING SAVE IT AS A PNG OR JPG.  YOU CAN ADD WORDS TO IT LATER.  

TO MAKE THE MATCHING AVATAR: 

FIND A CENTRAL POINT OF YOUR TIMELINE DESIGN THAT YOU WANT AS YOUR AVATAR.  CREATE A NEW LAYER.  WITH YOUR SELECTION TOOL SET TO CIRCLE, CREATE A CIRCLE AROUND THAT.  GO BACK TO INITIAL LAYER AND EDIT COPY - EDIT PASTE AS NEW IMAGE.  VOILA.... EASIER THAN YOU THOUGHT HUH?  

TIMELINES ARE FUN TO MAKE.  THEY CAN BE BANNERS, FOR ANYTHING.  

I HOPE YOU TRY MAKING ONE FOR YOURSELF. 

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU COMEUP WITH 

LOVE AND LIGHT
