What Your Facebook Cover Image Says About You

Ever since Facebook updated its user interface to a timeline, users have been asked to upload a cover image along with their display picture on their profiles. Cover images are like a customized banner that allows you to highlight an aspect of yourself more visually and prominently (and help you impress people). Here are 12 popular types of Facebook covers that say a lot about their users.

1. Paradise like Scenic beauty

Glorious sunsets at the beach, breathtaking views of a valley, evergreen forests and rivers flowing merrily along - If you’ve got cover pictures like this then you’re definitely a travel enthusiast. Or you’re probably the proud new owner of a DSLR camera.

12. Adrenaline pumping shots

Shots of you bungee jumping in South Africa or white water rafting in Costa Rica say it to the world loud and clear-Thrill seeking Adventure junkie!

23. Delectable Delights

Brownies, chocolate fudge sundaes, cheese oozing pizzas and BBQ glazed ribs. Masterchef Australia is your favorite show on TV. Need I say more? You’re a foodie!
