Ideas For Creating Twitter Backgrounds

June 3rd, 2010 Comments off

Looking for tips into helping you create your Twitter backgrounds is only sensible; to ensure you project the right image to your list of dedicated followers. However, the first tip is one that you are most likely to have already completed, so well done. If you have not spent some time considering what it is you want to say though; now is the time.

Do not panic if you haven’t thought along these lines yet though; consider simply using one of Twitter’s own templates until you become inspired. Okay, so they’re not going to win any awards, but they have been professionally and tastefully completed.

There are of course some key areas of your background design for Twitter that you need to look out for. As with any graphics, it is important to pay  close attention to the size and resolution of the image you wish to upload. If using text in  your background, try to keep it to a minimum and clearly defined.

An important aspect that many first time tweeters fall foul of regards the incorporation of Twitter’s own logo. As a result, use a border so the Twitter logo and user panel do not impede onto your design.

It is not possible to preview your design on Twitter unfortunately but, being such a  straightforward process to update, this shouldn’t be too much of a problem for you.

If you are really stuck; feel free to have a look at what professional companies could do for you. Prices can be quite affordable. If cost is at a premium, (or even if it isn’t and you have the time), designing your own is far the better option.

However you approach the design and publication of your Twitter backgrounds; always ensure you do not neglect the content. Remember that it is the content that really matters.
