12 Amazing Facebook Cover Photos With Simple, Clean Design

I love simple, clean design.

When I first renovated my room, I had only a table & a mattress with no frame.

I just couldn't find the right bed.

It took 2 years to find the perfect piece of furniture. My best friend Henry says my room looks like a jail cell.

He's right, sorta -- but I still like the simplicity of it all. :)

And my love for simple design extends to awesome Facebook cover photos -- where I use only the most minimal of design techniques.

Here's a recent example of a cover photo from one of my pages:

I went cover-photo CRAZY the past few days as I viewed images from hundreds of Facebook pages.

I hunted for the most simple & clean designs I could find -- something subtle that sent a very strong message.

Below are 12 of my favorites.
