Hey guys! So I'm writing a book set in 2012, and Facebook plays a huge role in how my characters interact. Facebook and ooVoo to be exact. I would like to include pictures of their statuses, comment threads, and private conversations throughout the book, but using Facebook's layout from that era.
Specifically looking to recreate:
- Status posts and their comments
- Private messages in Facebook inbox
- Facebook chat/Messenger conversations as they appeared at the time
I would like the fonts, colors, spacing, profile pictures, timestamps, and other interface details to look accurate to 2012.
Ideally, I'm looking for editable templates (if possible) so I can change the characters' names, pictures, text, dates, and like counts/who liked while keeping each layout consistent.
I accidentally paid for a year subscription (didn't cancel on time lol), so I'm seeing what I can do to put it to use.
Does anyone know of any existing templates or tutorials that could help? Would Photoshop work well for this, or would another program be easier? I want these pictures to be clear and readable in print.
(Also, I know I mentioned ooVoo, but I need to get Facebook out the way first.)
Any guidance would be highly appreciated! Thank you!
