@kateconsumption:

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

@emilychang

Love the little character on this digital photo background.

@TadCarpenter

Some great illustrations here.

@arronlock

Simple, great typography and personally designed.

@bongobrian

Designed by the man himself, great colour scheme here.

@dasgrafik

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

@novelhunter

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

@fuelyourapps

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

@twofivethreetwo

The avatar was drawn by @happymonkeyshoe, but the background as a whole I’m loving.

@Designfeedr

Some great illustration the eye for detail on this background is awesome.

@DesignerDepot

Brilliant colour scheme all works so well together.

@FredzGraphiks

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

@jeff_finley

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

@gracesmith

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

@nymphont

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

@OuttheOtherSide

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

@zixpk

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

@prettycooltimes

Love the logo the most in this piece.

@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.

@AisleOne

Minimal + Typography at its best.

@instantshift

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

@JasonBradbury

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

@naldzgraphics

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

@fudgegraphics

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

@yankodesign

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

@boogiesbc

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

@chrisspooner
