Google have now opened up their social networking platform to brands. Currently, however, the offering is pretty sparse.
You can upload a few photos, post some links and updates…. and that’s about it.
While we all wait for Google to release a bunch of APIs and an application backend, the most interesting thing you can do to spice up a Google+ brand page is with a photo montage.
The top of all Google+ brand profile pages allows you to show 5 images. With a bit of mucking around you can drop in 5 images that *almost* look like one big long banner.
Getting the dimensions just right isn’t too hard… but I’ve done the hard stuff for you.
Download the GooglePlusPhotoMontage.psd, open it up in Photoshop, drop in your image, save the slices and upload them. Bang – you’re done!
If you need a bit more help than that, follow the steps after the break:
