An Easy Start To Your Custom Twitter Background
Twitter has shown itself to be an important tool for fun, business, or anything in between (always best when you don’t have to choose between the two). The folks at Twitter have been nice enough to let everyone use a custom background in addition to some of the new designs they have provided with their recent update.
This gives you a great chance to extend your personal branding (examples here and here) abilities to a place where a lot of people could be taking in your message for the first time. We have no problem with the default look of Twitter but take that extra step and throw your logo or company name on there. We have put together a simple Photoshop (PSD) file to use as a guide. It is plenty big to make sure people with large resolutions don’t see any abrupt ends and has a guideline on the left side showing how much space you have for your own creativity before the twitter box begins.
Once you are in photoshop delete the layer with Ideas And Angles stuff and make the image your own.

This is a great tool guys, thank you. Btw I was also able to open this file up in the gimp on Ubuntu Hardy. I’ll soon regale the public with an improved twitter profile…
