VIDEO: Ideas for profile pictures

The importance of profile pictures

• First of all, you should realize that with a well-chosen profile picture, you may have a much better chance of meeting new people contacts to knot. This can be very important, especially in the business area.
• The profile picture is the first (and probably the only) thing a contact you do not know personally in the Internet perceives and remembers it after just a few seconds. So it can't hurt to attract attention with some creative ideas in order to stay in the memory of the virtual counterpart.

Ideas for more creativity

If you are looking for great profile pictures then the first thing you should ask yourself is what type of profile picture is right for you.

• There are two options: Do you want to be able to recognize your face? Or would you prefer to keep a touch of anonymity?
• Generally come pictures, on which one can recognize a face and thus a person, very well. Because they signal openness and an open-minded character.

Your profile pictures seem increasingly boring to you because they are no longer from the ...

• Brilliant ideas are not always required for a good profile picture. The close-up of a face is classic and timeless and therefore never a mistake. However, if you play with colors (black and white shots are very popular for portraits) or play with a slightly increased contrast, then you can achieve extraordinary results.
• Play with your eyes. On a profile picture you don't always have to look directly into the camera, a look to the side or up, one eye, that is almost completely in the dark - let your ideas run wild and just try a little hereabouts.
• It is also important where exactly the face is positioned. Directly frontal in the middle looks too clumsy, whether right, left, above or below are more suitable, that has to be decided on a case-by-case basis.
• Take photos in extraordinary places. Of course, your face is in the foreground, but under certain circumstances the background can make all the difference. Regardless of whether it is warehouses, run-down bridges or wide fields - there is no such thing as a "wrong" background.
• Important: Only use a flash in the rarest of cases. As a rule, the picture then appears sleepy and over-bright - all creativity is lost.
• Often profile pictures have to be cropped and scaled down. Edit the sharpness here afterwards so that the profile picture does not appear too spongy.
