Going creative with your LinkedIn profile picture

Have you noticed that more and more people get creative with their LinkedIn profile pictures?

From my picture below you can see that I have created a personalized picture frame. LinkedIn offers #opentowork and #hiring, but your imagination is really the limit. 

Creating one is actually really easy. For example, mine is created with a PowerPoint template found from this blog post. 💡

So if you wish to create a personalized frame for your picture, then you are welcome to use the free template and step-by-step instructions from the same blog post. You can find a PowerPoint template to easily create your own frame - pick your picture, adjust the frame color and add your own slogan.

But you can also take your profile picture to a whole new level by being even more creative with it. For this you can find several example templates in the Canva template that is in the same blog post linked above. 

There are several template created for free use in Canva. You can pick the one that you like the best or even combine elements from several templates. It's up to your imagination.

P.S. I would recommend to keep it rather simple and think about how it matches with your header picture.

Happy profile picture updating! ✨
