How to Create Twitter Background Today!

Friday, January 29th, 2010

By creating a original Twitter Background you’ll be able to stand out from the crowd of other Twitter users and offer your followers something original and captivating to look at. Although there are several read-to-use Twitter backgrounds on the Twitter site, it is best to create your own, that way you will know that you are the only one with that particular design and you can use that to build your identity and brand.

The easiest way to create twitter backgrounds is by customizing an image. I use 1600×1200 pixel images to ensure that multiple different web browsers and multiple monitors will all be able to see my Twitter page the way it was intended. After selecting the right image and bringing it to the right size dimensions you can go ahead and set upon the task of further customizing it.

The top of the image should be reserved for the menu, logo and navigation and this will take up about 71 pixels of the top of the images. Beneath that 71 pixels is where your Tweets will appear. Keep in mind that you need to customize your background image to accommodate these Tweets in a way that makes them easy to read and 760 pixels is about how wide a space you will need to reserve for your Tweets.

Besides the two above constraints, any other areas of the background image may be used for additional text, images or graphics. By carefully designing your Twitter background to match your Tweets and the general niche your Tweets are about, you will be able to attract and retain a higher number of Twitter followers than you would be able to with a generic Twitter background.
