What Makes A Good Myspace Profile Design
I am going to explain what makes a Good Myspace Profile Design, the areas I will be concentrating on are high tech graphic profiles, usually bands, games, models, groups. Personal profiles sometimes like to have a good looking profile too but the main aim is to the ones mentioned above.
In order to produce a good looking Myspace Profile Design you will need to hire a Graphic Designer most of the time, however there are ways you can make it look good without one, there are lots of DIY Editors online which are good if you are just wanting a simple good looking design. However when you are wanting to stand out from the crowd a Myspace Designer or some Experience in Myspace Design will be required.
In order to set you in the right direction I am going to tell you what makes a good Custom Myspace Design, What to include and what not to include.
Things you must include:
* Basic Links such as - Home, Add, Message, Comment and Block, the rest are mainly down to personal choice, the reason why I include the Block link is due to people harassing or annoying someone, it's a necessity to include this link in your Myspace Profile Design. * Try to design your profile around you - colours that match you specifically but keep it so it's easy on the viewers eyes * If you have Graphic Experience then create your own images for your layout, this is great because you then stand out from the rest of the crowd, many people have often noticed me because of my profile designs, they always say to me how do you do that I wish I could, they can they just need to learn, when you stand out from the crowd, say for example its a band or a game, you then look good which will get them interested. * Do not worry if you can not create graphics yourself, there are sites to teach you just Google "graphic design tutorials" etc. You can even get some free graphics to use. * Your profile can still look good without graphics though, if you know some basic HTML and CSS then you can get results just as good. There are lots of websites out there offering free tutorials and codes but to get really good you need to learn not just do what it says.
Things you should not do:
* Stop ways of interaction - no add, message or comment options without these people cannot interact with you, which begs the question what are you doing on a community site if you do not want to interact? - and believe me I have seen some Custom Myspace Designs like this. * Have links that are hard to read due to colour, size, hovers which hover to the same colour as your background. * Graphics that are just too harsh on the eyes, do not go too crazy with your design/graphics or people will just click off your profile * Now I cannot stress this enough, DO NOT jam pack your Myspace Profile Design with things, I HATE THIS, some profiles have so much on it's ridiculous, not only does it cause the profile to stall in loading but it looks horrible.
That is it for this article, in the next article I will show you what prices you should be paying for Custom Myspace Designs and how to tell if they are ripping you off or not.
