Good Night and Good Luck

2011-04-24T21:45:00.000-07:00

Hello followers and those who check out my page,

This is my last post, but feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions. I really appreciate you all taking the time to look at my blog and I wish you all luck with looking fabulous in your pictures.

Just remember that your picture should ultimately just represent your personality and by letting that shine through, it will definitely be a success.

Here is one last video I'm posting called, "I Gotta Feeling Tonight's Gonna Be a Profile Pic," where iJustine spoofs "I Gotta Feeling" and Facebook in the same song.

Well, it was a pleasure sharing all I know about profile pictures. Good Night and Good Luck.

Love ya,

Faceinhole.com is the best!

2011-04-24T21:29:00.000-07:00

My personal favorite website is http://www.faceinhole.com/ where you can insert your head or your friend's head onto characters or celebrities. It is a creative website that will definitely generate plenty of laughter.

Here is a silly cartoon of Spongebob and Patrick that I put my best friend and myself in.

This is my one of my favorite ones because my best friend and I have an obsession with Titanic.

This is from the music video by Beyonce called "Single Ladies." My best friends and I were all single at the time so it was a cute picture to put together.

These are of the Backstreet Boys and the Spice Girls. My friends and I enjoy 90s music so we always jam to those songs.

Here is a picture from another music video by Lady Gaga and Beyonce called "Telephone." My friend and I loved the song so I inserted our heads in this picture as a joke.

These are the best shots I've put in accurately and that go with the scene. The thing to remember is to try and get a similar skin tone and find an angle of your face that goes well with the photo. These are my favorite because these are my future husbands. I'm going to have a polyandry life with multiple husbands.

After this, I will be making my last post on here.

Love ya,

Showing off FuntasticFace.com

2011-04-24T11:29:00.000-07:00

One of the silliest websites I've spent time on was http://www.funtasticface.com/. It is a good time waster and cure to boredom. You can insert different features on people's faces by giving people black eyes and lip rings. Here are some before and after photos so you can see the difference.

That is the before photo of my best friend and myself.

Here is the after! I gave myself a black eye, mustache, scooby doo hat, and a new nose with Dora the Explorer bandaid.For my best friend, I just gave her a beard, eyebrow ring, and a princess crown.

Before Funtastic.com

Hold in the laughter...here is the after! I gave myself different eyes, a crazy mustache, a new mouth with bad teeth, a new hair style and color. I gave my best friend a new mouth with a tongue sticking out, blood wounds on her chest, google glasses, new hair with pink in it and a hippie headband.

As you can see, this website has a lot to offer with some new ways to spice up your Facebook profile picture while giving you more ways to cure your everyday boredem.

Introducing PhotoFunia

2011-04-24T10:45:00.000-07:00

http://www.photofunia.com/ is a fun website where you can be creative and turn normal photos into works of art. Here are some examples of the fun that can be shared on this interesting website.

This is one way to spice up your Facebook with a Wanted Sign and your face plastered on it. You can type in whatever name and any price you feel is appropriate for your capture.

You can also be artsy with your Facebook photo by showing this interesting design. It is a great tool to show creativity and individuality.

This is an example of another popular feature on the site. You can insert your face into certain bodies and it is quite fascinating.

This picture is one of my favorite designs because it gives the illusion that your face is being painted on a billboard. It will make people on Facebook look twice.

This is a more abstract picture, but it has someone random staring at it which makes you look famous. It is pretty funny.

This one is definitely the coolest. To draw that much detail with chalk is incredible, but obviously it is computer generated talent, but it still looks neat.

Many of my friends used this as their profile picture. Every girl dreams of being on the cover of a magazine especially one as prestigious as Vogue. So now, here is your chance!

There are also funny pictures with celebrities holding photos up of their fans. There is one with Victoria Beckham and another with Paris Hilton.

Celebrities also can wear shirts with your face on them like Angelina Jolie does with this silly photo.

I saved the best for last. You can be on David Beckham's tattoo. It cleverly inserted my face onto his angel tattoo. It fits so well, which makes me laugh.

So you saw what Photofunia has to offer from artsy to just silly photos. It is your turn to go and have with it!

Love ya,

Tips for Profile Picture Video!

2011-04-20T07:50:00.000-07:00

Here is a video that can help you find the best profile picture. It is very entertaining. It says that it is only for single guys, but girls can use these tips as well!

No Awkward Family Photos Please

2011-04-20T07:24:00.000-07:00

One of the worst things people do on Facebook is use old family photos. Well, it can only be successful if it is funny and if the picture shows your personality really well. This picture would not be a good profile picture for the Mom because she does not want some of her high school friends to see her like this. If it was one of the son's profile pictures, then it'd be really funny since they both have fear in their eyes. It is quite entertaining.

Here is another photo that can make a profile look absolutely ridiculous. If it was the younger sister's Facebook, she should make this her profile picture just to make fun of her sister. But the older sister looks really mean and nasty in this awkward photo...so I'd suggest hiding this photo from future boyfriends.

Words cannot even begin to describe how awkward this photo is. Why is this pregnant woman reaching for his gun? This should definitely NOT be a profile picture because a gun should never be that close to a baby. This is one of the strangest photos I've ever seen.

This is definitely a no-no. It is one thing to have a wedding photo as your profile picture, but not one where it looks like your husband is motor-boating you. Wedding photos can be beautiful, but this one is just way too awkward.

And here is my favorite awkward photo. Stop laughing, you heartless people! It's okay...I definitely laughed too. This is one of the best action shots that I've ever seen. However, if I was this girl, I'd NEVER make this my profile picture because it is so embarrassing. I'm not saying this little girl would have a Facebook, but when she is older...it could happen. This is still my favorite awkward photo, but it not Facebook material.

All of these photos came from www.awkwardfamilyphotos.com; it is a fun website to get a good laugh and see some of the world's strangest family photos. They are all not Facebook material.

Well I must go, but I'll post more later.

Love ya,

How to utilize Black and White effects

2011-04-14T22:35:00.000-07:00

First off, I reccommend taking a second look at pictures that you fall in love with of your friends and you or just yourself. The best thing to do is go to http://www.picnik.com/ and you can edit them in cool and fun ways for free! There are effects that you can pay to use, but I think there are plenty of opportunities for free. Here are some examples:

This is one of the collages I made of my three best friends and myself. I used the Black and White effect and zoomed in to color their shirts and my headband. It gives it a neat effect that shows creativity and they print out really well so they are good decorations for dorm rooms.

This is another image where I used the same effect, but it is a little more noticeable and it shows how creative your personality is through one simple photo.

This is one of my best editted photos with me in Black and White while my friend is in color. It shows such great contrast and our facial expressions really go with our colors and lack their of. Of course, we were just goofing around with a camera at 2 a.m., but it is not obvious in this photo. All of your friends could think that you got this professionally done.

This is a picture of my best friend. It is one of my favorite pictures I've ever taken and editted because her personality can really be seen in the photo. It also looks cool with the brightness of the flowers. They have a nice contrast that really give the picture a unique flair. A picture with such creativity would be great as a profile picture.

This is a picture of my friends and me for Christmas. The best thing about just using some color is that you can still use other effects on this site with it. I used an effect called Ortonish, which will give ur picture more of a natural glow. The colors blend better with the black and white with this glow in the mix.

This is only one effect on http://www.picnik.com/ and there are plenty of more options to choose from. Next post will be about putting the right kind of family photos up on Facebook and which to leave in the baby albums.

Not Profile Picture Material

2011-04-07T13:33:00.000-07:00

   So as many of you probably know, Facebook is an important social networking website that can give people a chance to learn everything about you without even asking a question.

   It is crucial to exhibit yourself in a way that you want others to remember you. So with that, Facebook has a profile picture feature where you can post a picture of yourself. I have some issues with pictures that people have used in the past. This blog is going to poke fun of the horrible profile picture choices and will identify how to distinguish the 'right' kind of picture to show off your personality and looks at the same time.

   Do not put pictures of yourself when you used have 50 more pounds on you than you should have. These pictures are embarrassing. This is me when I was younger. I recently deleted this picture because at the time, this was a fantastic photo of me. I had beautiful makeup on and I was wearing my favorite blue plaid shirt. I definitely felt like a hottie back in that day. But now, times have changed and that 50 pounds just doesn't do any justice for me so I've upgraded my body to get me back out there.

This is what I look like now, which is much more presentable. This is only my first post. I have so much more knowledge and wisdom about showing off your best assets to get the attention you deserve without looking too trashy through your profile picture. I hope you enjoy this blog and learn some pointers on having the best profile picture on Facebook.

Love always,
