Easy Way to Photoshop Twitter Backgrounds

The key to creating a Twitter background using Photoshop is 2 part

A) Makes sure you use a good size canvas
B) Make sure you keep important info to the far left
Many of the old Twitter backgrounds are having issues displaying on the new interface as it is using a wider layout.
STEP 1
Choose the size of canvas 1600×1200.
Personally I use 2000×900 pixels as i prefer less depth and a greater width coverage for incredibly hi- resolutions.
STEP 2
Add either decoration or an image, but postion it top left and fade it out to a solid colour bottom right, this enables the background to fade out regardless the screen size.
STEP 3
Aim to put the name or logo of your site as far left as possible. It may well be worth using text vertically. Remember visitors to your Twitter account will be able to see this address, and if inclined, type it into the browser window, so this is an important connection to take visitors from your Twitter account to your web site.

Thats it.

Follow these simple principles and you’ll have a great and future proof Twitter background using Photoshop that you can be proud of.
