Recently, Facebook has finally rolled out Timeline, its new profile layout that was announced last Fall. While Timeline has many usability and functional benefits to the previous profile layout, definitely the most noticeable change is the addition of a Cover photo at the top of your profile. Every user has the ability to upload a large photo to be displayed at the top of their Timeline, with their profile photo laid neatly on top.

While this allows users to show off a large, attractive visual of importance to any, for those of us that are so inclined, it allows a way to create a clever or creative composition and personalize our profiles just a bit more. Below is a screenshot of my Timeline Cover, an homage to one of my favorite video games, Mike Tyson's Punch-Out:

Now, you can get as creative as you want with your own Facebook Timeline by using the Photoshop template that I created. The file contains instructions and has all relevant layers labeled. You can simply use it to easily crop a photo for your own Cover photo, or play around and come up with something different and interesting yourself!
