How To Make Customized Twitter Backgrounds

The first thing to work on when designing your Twitter backgrounds is the image you wish to portray to the world. 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. While backgrounds can be changed quite easily, it is a lot better to start as you meant to go on.

Indeed, I would go so far as to say that if you are struggling to find inspiration; or perhaps the design you are working isn’t quite working, take some time out and use what Twitter already has created for you. 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.

There are many places online that can help, or simply design your Twitter backgrounds for you. Prices of course vary, but if you are time poor they can be worthwhile. If the page is purely for social use however; it is unlikely this will be for you.

However you approach the design and publication of your Twitter backgrounds; always ensure you do not neglect the content.
