The Sexiest Twitter Background Designs

Twitter has spawned up as an amazing tool in promotion of articles, social lives, news and many other things. But from looking at people’s profiles especially designers and large brands we can see some amazing twitter background designs also. Here are just a few of the best that I have seen in recent weeks and months.

Designed by herself, I just love all the detail in the drawings!

Designed by the man himself, great colour scheme here.

Chris Dowson (dasgrafik) on Twitter_1253018232179

This man has some strong photoshop skills, even if he did say so himself.

Jill (novelhunter) on Twitter_1253018371425

Love the colour scheme and simplicity not too overcrowded. (made by @nymphont)

Simple, clean and concise; you don’t need much more than that.

@DesignerDepot

Brilliant colour scheme all works so well together.

Fred L (FredzGraphiks) on Twitter_1253198646500

@FredzGraphiks

Simple yet so effective, the colors of the background and text in the main page intertwine into one great page.

Jeff Finley (jeff_finley) on Twitter_1253198627112

@jeff_finley

Good use of darkness in this background and allows the picture and text to stand out more.

Grace Smith (gracesmith) on Twitter_1253198619181

@gracesmith

Love the photography in the hand being part of the design with the text taking over the left side.

Lauren Thompson (nymphont) on Twitter_1253198477927

@nymphont

Lovely texture down the right hand side with a simple picture and sticky note text.

Christy Latz (OuttheOtherSide) on Twitter_1253198818655

Love the angel from one of Christy’s illustrative works, concise and great use of colour to make parts stand out better.

Creative typography background behind the image and text with lovely use of opacity.

@prettycooltimes

Love the logo the most in this piece.

Dani McDaniel (dani) on Twitter_1253198756792

@dani

This maybe my favorite design of the lot with just everything positive and bright. Really appeals to my abstract design which is seen a lot now a days with hardcore/emo/alternative bands across the board.

Antonio Carusone (AisleOne) on Twitter_1253199008706

@AisleOne

Minimal + Typography at its best.

instantshift (instantshift) on Twitter_1253198992328

@instantshift

Matches up with the instant shift website brilliantly, whilst having its own personality.

Jason Bradbury (JasonBradbury) on Twitter_1253198953319

@JasonBradbury

The Gadget Show’s finest presenter shows of a great background design here.

Ronald Bien (naldzgraphics) on Twitter_1253198944854

Again fits in so well with the same website of the creator, be sure to check that out also!

Franz Jeitz (fudgegraphics) on Twitter_1253199833862

@fudgegraphics

Brilliant, i loved the revamp when the website was done up and this echo’s the same design quality.

Yanko Design (yankodesign) on Twitter_1253199817995

@yankodesign

A different approach to twitter background design, who wouldn’t love the bird icon.

Bogdan Sandu (boogiesbc) on Twitter_1253199780106

@boogiesbc

Love the paint dripping affect, which dominates the top part of this design.

Chris Spooner (chrisspooner) on Twitter_1253199771161
