Twitter backgrounds?

**lethalboom** · 15 May, 2009, 13:57 PM

Hey guys.

I'm in the process of designing myself a new Twitter background as my current one SUCKS!!!

Are there any cool backgrounds you could link me to for inspiration? Also, what do you think makes a good background? I was going to go the simplicity look.

Best thing is to hire someone if you are not a designer.

But now Twitter backgrounds are OUT. Yes they are- as MOST people visit Twitter from Apps like Tweetdeck, where they cannot see the background.

If you really want one, check out chris spooner's blog for a tutorial.

EDIT: Here is the link- http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/...best-practices

EDIT AGAIN: Just wanted to add, my background, got featured on the Top 10 backgrounds of Bloggers. David Risely and others were in it :O haha!

Honestly out of all the backgrounds mentioned Farrhad definitely has the best. It is just so perfect for branding.

@Farrhad Can you like me to the 10 bloggers post you were talking about please.

I just learned how to create my twitter background. It doesn't look very good though, so I'll have to develop a nicer one.

It is pretty good, but its connected to your old design :P

I've just put something there on a temporary basis, but hopefully I can get some feedback and improve on it. What do you guys think?

It's decent, if you want a detailed review I think you can put it in the design section or ask your followers.
