How to Make Bio Art for an Xbox

The Xbox 360 console connects to the Xbox Live network to allow players to connect with other players for multiplayer games. When the player logs onto the Xbox Live network, they are represented by an avatar, or bio image. This allows players to personalize their online personas. If you would like to make your own bio art for your Xbox Live account, you can do it with little hassle and minimal knowledge of the console.
