subject: Why Twitter Background Design Is Important To Businesses [print this page] Part of getting people interested in you businesss Twitter site is not just about tweeting interesting and unique content that people want to follow, but demonstrating youre a business worth following through using unique and interesting backgrounds. A colourful and interesting Twitter page can do a lot as it entices people to check it out.
A default Twitter page can project the wrong image for most businesses. The standard blue page does not really say anything about your business, giving very little in the way of clues of what your business is about. This may mean you have not enticed as yet thousands of potential followers. Part of a successful Twitter page is having a page that feels unique and interesting, and when complimented with fascinating content, you can unleash the full power of Twitter.
So what makes a attractive and enticing Twitter page? An enticing Twitter page is different for each business, but it does need to be relevant to your business or at least inject some colour into your page. You can use images, colours, effects and designs to spruce up you Twitter page and to make it stand out from the crowd.
Patterns are often a favourite background to upload as they make your page look decorative they also have the advantage of to be easily repeatable. Design your own patterns in Photoshop, Illustrator or Paint and then upload to Twitter. Alternatively, create a background made up of the photos that you feel represent your firm, whether it be a portfolio of design work or promotional images.
Using effects on images on a Twitter page is a common design, especially among web and graphic designers. Colour fading and splashes of colour give any Twitter page a professional, modern but fun look. If you are looking for a contemporary background, fading and using blots of colour will exude the look of modern art.
Having a focal point as part of background can be very much enticing. But to work, it has to be in line with the space a Twitter page has to offer, so design around the update box in the middle of the page, leaving enough space, around 5 pixels, so when seen by different resolution screens it does not distort too much. Having focal points of interest will gain potential; followers attention, luring them to follow you.
Twitter is one of the main ways businesses these days keep their clients and customers, whether potential or past customers, updated on their news and offers. Thus its just as important as your website to have a nicely designed Twitter page, as it is one of the ways you will attract custom.
