20 Creative Twitter backgrounds & 10 Graphic Designers to follow – Twitter treats!!
Charlie B. Johnson Comments  48

Twitter and twitter fans are growing enormously nowadays. I am sure each one of you is available on twitter and would agree with the wonders it can do for us. The most interesting part of twitter is those amazingly creative backgrounds which bigheartedly invite you to follow the user.

Undoubtedly, we all would love having custom created backgrounds for our twitter page. So, here is my effort to compile some of the most imaginative and appealing twitter backgrounds.
 
 

Before you start with the Twitter Tour my friends, I would like to inform you that I plan a similar post in future where I would be rounding up more design-related Twitter users. So if you all want an inclusion, don’t forget to leave your profile link in the comment section

So let’s start the twitter tour…
 

20 Creative Twitter Backgrounds:

It should be of no surprise that most of these stunning twitter profiles belong to graphic designers, as they are the ones who can create big things out of nothing. I would recommend you guys not to be just impressed but also start following them.
 

@ DesignerDepot
 

@ Go Media
 

@ Stephen Kelly
 

@ Marekuk
 

@ Kim Dean Art
 

@ Farrhad
 

@ Cheth
 

@ Peachpittv
 

@ Mr Tweet
 

@ Css Style
 

@ Vonster
 

@ Cameronolivier
 

@ Jolly Lizard
 

@ Wardere
 

@ Natalie
 

@ Chrisspooner
 

@ Boag World
 

@ EllisLab
 

@ Stephenfry
 

@ DesignerDepot
 
 

10 Graphic Designers to follow on twitter:

Well, after showcasing wonderful graphics on twitter pages I have listed some of the most prominent Graphic Designers available on Twitter. There are countless people available on twitter but very few designers providing great design resources. Trust me, they are worth following
 

@ Abduzeedo
 

@ Imjustcreative
 

@ Mayhem Studios
 

@ Kreativusa
 

@ Problogger
 

@ Minervity
 

@ Smashingmag
 

@ PSDTUTS
 

@ Vectips
 

@ Nourayehia
 
And don’t forget to follow me on twitter…I bring you design related tweets as well.

Just to add some more zing to this post, I would like to refer my last post here where I manipulated some famous logos, making them difficult to be recognized. Quiet surprisingly, most of my friends got stuck at “Twitter Logo”. However, I would like you all to take a trip at this post “Guess the Famous Logos – The fun begins!!” and see if you can prove yourself to be a big twitter fan.

Don’t forget @lisaduplessis, she really knows her stuff

amiltonaddison | June 19th, 2009 at 6:07 am

I like all the designs specially “DesignerDepot” has the best background.”Cheth” is also good.If I am not wrong “PSDTUTS” is a tutorial site and by the way I have started to follow all of the above profiles

Romi | June 19th, 2009 at 7:12 am

lol they haven’t include me ohh guys you forget me in the list :-)

dabobabo | June 19th, 2009 at 7:16 am

hi,great collection, I just following most these guys ,thanks for the new one..take a look to my background on twiter..hope you like.bye @dabobabo

Jessika | June 19th, 2009 at 8:37 am

2 places from 20 for “Vectips”… I think this is too much for him )))

nick | June 19th, 2009 at 3:33 pm

Replace @minervity with @mlane and you’ve got my vote. @minervity retweets his own spam on a daily basis. Every day the same links to his own site. At least mlane scans the net and twitter for insightful posts from a variety of locations.

Christopher Hennis | June 19th, 2009 at 4:14 pm

Two of those users are using default Twitter backgrounds and you mentioned VecTips twice.

Mort | June 19th, 2009 at 5:10 pm

This makes me realize I need to get more creative with my twitter background. Not that many people really see them once they’ve followed you.

UberDragon | June 19th, 2009 at 8:53 pm

I just know I’m going to make one of these twitter background lists one day ;) - A very nice collection here!

Thanks.

Phaoloo | June 20th, 2009 at 2:23 am

All of them are awesome. That’s why people follow them right away visiting their Twitter pages.

Bella Cosa Design | June 20th, 2009 at 7:53 pm

You are one of my favorites on Twitter…so many awesome and helpful links. :)

Check out our illustrative backgrounds… @bellacosadesign

Thanks! -Ashley

Brandon Cox | June 20th, 2009 at 8:46 pm

Hey, for @nebrow, did you intend @nikibrown, who recently changed from @nebrow?

Charles Duggan | June 20th, 2009 at 11:11 pm

@Arbenting Angie Bowen of Arbent.net - She’s got alot of great articles and keeps up with Twitter. Definitely a designer worth following.

Thanks, @Will_Powered

8chocolate | June 22nd, 2009 at 9:25 am

Anyone have a link to a site that tells you background size for Twitter and how to have images showing either side of comments? Saw it once with all the into and should have bookmarked. These backgrounds have inspired me to do SOMETHING with mine!

Thompson Touch | June 22nd, 2009 at 10:08 am

Like everyone else I’m trying to get started selling Custom Twitter backgrounds as well.

Looks like We all have to step up our game.

Mariusz | June 22nd, 2009 at 12:34 pm

Not sure if you will find my background creative, but I’m a graphic designer myself and I quite like it — http://twitter.com/dotmariusz

Stephen Kelly | June 22nd, 2009 at 2:31 pm

Thanks for choosing me for this list.

@StephenKelly

briankcurtis | June 22nd, 2009 at 3:49 pm

Interesting…

I’m still new to twitter, and although I am no professional graphic designer, I get compliments about my background all the time. Apparently simplicity and minimalism never go out of style. The only problem is it cannot be fully appreciated without a full screen, but you’ll get the idea even without one.

Charlie B. Johnson | June 23rd, 2009 at 12:07 am

Hey All….a big thanks to you all to drop by your twitter profile links.

@ Briankcurtis…you were right, I really liked your Twitter background…you are chosen for the next list.

@ Binoj xavier…don’t worry friend, your backgraound will be included too

 

@ Christopher Hennis…thnks buddy for pointing out my mistake….it’s fixed now.

 

@8Chocolate….Thnks for appreciating this compilation and I hope anyone comes up with a link of your help.

 

@Bella Cosa Design…It was really nice of you to appreciate my posts and follow me on twitter.

 

@Nick…you seem to be really irritated by @Minverity’s working on twitter

 

@dabobabo…you have been selected for the upcoming post.

 

@ Will D. White…yeah my friend, you are right, I missed @Arbenting Angie Bowen of Arbent.net. I will surely have her on top in my next list :)

 

Well, I would highly appreciate if you check the "Logo Game" I mentioned in the end. I want to see if "Twitter Logo" was really difficult to guess….if not, then which logos gave you a hard time :)

gummisig | June 23rd, 2009 at 8:10 am

Where the hell is my background :)
@gummisig

Antoine Guédès | June 23rd, 2009 at 10:37 am
