Need inspiration? For twitter Background - TwitterCashPump.com
Creativity is fun. Creativity is exciting. Creativity is
joyful. Unfortunately, creativity does not always show up on demand. So what to
do when you’ve got a great but vague idea for a background and need that extra
little something to take that idea through execution?
Truth is, inspiration is all around you. From the way the
rays of the sun shine through the leaves of the tree outside your window, to
the way the magnet got knocked askew on your fridge, any visual can be that
trigger that sends your imagination soaring. But for those times when you’re
really stuck the web is a treasure-trove of inspiration, if you just know where
to look.
Want to design something fresh and new? Grasping for ideas
to even begin designing a layout? Why not see some great examples of what’s
already out there. A great first stop is one (or both) of the sites that
aggregate the best of Twitter background design: Twitter Background Gallery and
Killer Tweets. Here you’ll find examples of how to effectively break the grid
for a Twitter background while making it work within the parameters of Twitter.
Scrolling through the galleries you’ll also get a feel for which areas of the
design to concentrate on most, as well as some themes and styles for your
potential design.
When I’m on the hunt for inspiration my next step is usually
looking at more generic background ideas on one of two sites: Deviant Art’s
Wallpaper section has such a huge range of subjects – from tech to goth to pop
culture – that something inevitably catches my eye. The stock website iStock
Photo is another great resource. Do a photo/illustration search on “background”
and you’ll come up with some wonderful examples, from simple textures to
incredibly ornate illustrations.
By now you should have a fair idea of the style and rough
layout for the background you’d like to design. It’s at this point that I
usually turn to some of my favorite Photoshop and Illustrator tutorial sites
for ideas on how to create specific elements for my design. There are so many
great effects that can be created with these two programs, I know I’ve barely
scratched the surface of what’s possible. These sites will provide you with not
only ideas on what to do, but step-by-step instructions on how to achieve the
effect you seek (err … as is the purpose of tutorial sites, I suppose).
Now you’ve got the know-how, but what about the tools? The
sites mentioned above are generally also great resources for various Adobe
freebies – brushes, styles, actions, patterns, swatches.
