Designer's Desk: Twitter Backgrounds
Optimize Your Tweets
A picture's worth a thousand words and since you only get 140 characters to express yourself with each Tweet why not spice up your Twitter profile with a custom background?
Get your head out of the clouds
What's the first thing you notice when you visit a website? The design probably sticks out to you more than the words on the page. So while everyone else is using the default aqua-marine with white clouds Twitter background, wow your audience with something unique.
Consider your Twitter design your online business card, just like your website. How will you present yourself to others?
For veteran Twitter users, the idea of a custom background may be a no-brainer. Place your brand front and center on your Twitter page and make a good first impression with visitors. When you set up your Twitter account, you can give viewers a little more information about you or your business in your Bio section but even there you only get 160 characters. Use the rest of your Twitter page as advertising space for you.
The idea of spending hours designing a custom Twitter background has its downsides too when you consider that many Twitter users Tweet from devices other than their computers.
However, according to Alexa.com Twitter was ranked the 13th most trafficked site in the United States and the percentage of global internet users who visit Twitter.com was 3.61%, which means that people are still visiting Twitter on a regular basis.
Get the Most Bang for Your Buck
Definitely incorporate your logo into your custom Twitter background. Consider adding contact information, links to your site and blog; and some people even use the space to display a short resume for themselves.
