Please note, this is a reprint of an ear­lier post, I thought I’d save it from the depths of my archived posts. Also these are set up for the ear­lier ver­sion of twit­ter. They will still work for the recent incar­na­tion of twit­ter. Enjoy!

Twit­ter is all the rage, but how can you make a great look­ing twit­ter page? Twit­ter gives the user lim­ited, yet flex­i­ble design options. As social net­work­ing sites go, this gives you the abil­ity to cre­ate a unique look unlike say, Face­book. But it keeps things much cleaner than the design night­mare that is MySpace.

Cre­at­ing a cool back­ground is the key to dif­fer­en­ti­at­ing your­self on Twit­ter. After read­ing Jen­nifer Far­ley, of Laugh­ing Lion Design’s excel­lent  tuto­r­ial on Site­point (click here to read it) about cre­at­ing your own back­grounds for Twit­ter. I was inspired, and cre­ated some generic tem­plates based on her tuto­r­ial. Down­load the my tem­plates and use Jennifer’s tuto­r­ial and these tem­plates and before you know it, you’ll have a back­ground that will make every­one a twit­ter about. Oh, man, I can’t believe I actu­ally used a lame twit­ter pun. Twit­ter puns are the low­est form of humor, it makes one sound like, dare I say it… a twit. I did it again!

downloadDown­load these free tem­plates for your own use, pass along the link if you like them. The tem­plates for Pho­to­shop and Illus­tra­tor with guides and are in the three most com­mon browser sizes (800x600, 1024x768 & 1280x1024), though the 800x600 might be a bit use­less, but you might as well have the com­plete set. These were cre­ated in the CS3, if any­one is inter­ested I can save down the Illus­tra­tor ver­sion to an ear­lier version.

Also you can fol­low me on Twit­ter.
