Cover Designer
Now you can finally create and customize your Facebook Timeline covers.
Cover Designer will guide you, in few easy steps, in the creation of original images.
Through the different sections of the app, you will be able to add and modify specific elements: backgrounds, photos, texts and balloons.
Background
This tab lets you select a background for your cover among some available images or load a photo from your computer.
Control buttons:
The Load image button lets you upload a photo from your computer.
You can move it on every point of the background and regulate its size through the Scale Image control.
On the tab panel you can also select some default backgrounds.
Objects
It is possible to insert and modify pictures, texts, balloons and various decorations.
Alterations
When you select an object, a button for alterations appears:
- Resize;
- Rotation: in order to rotate an object, you have to click on this button and drag the cursor with a circular movement.
- Flip: mirrors the image horizontally (left-right);
- It is possible to drag the object on the cover using the arrow buttons.
Objects control
It is possible to control the objects through the following buttons:
- Add creates a new object at the center of the cover;
- Delete erases the item;
- Arrange Icons: moves the element forward or behind the other items. You can also reposition the objects with the buttons:
- Begin to close up the image;
- Page Up moves the object ahead;
- Page Down moves the object behind;
- End moves the object behind all the other items.
- Opacity slider regulates the opacity of an element from 100% to 10%; you can also use the 1-9 keys and the 0 key to obtain a 100% opacity;
- Shadow creates a light shadow behind the object
Photo
This tab lets you upload a photo from a computer and makes you decorate it using masks and frames.
- Load image uploads an image from the computer to the center of the cover;
- Through the other buttons, you can modify the object you want to: Edit frame and photo together (using also the O key) modifies the entire image, while Edit only the photo (or using I key) only changes the picture.
Text
This tab lets you add and modify texts, selecting fonts, colors and “graffiti style” special effects.
Balloons
The tab lets you add comic-stripes-style balloons, giving voice to the images.
