How to Change Twitter Design Colors: A "Twitter Tuesday" Post

As many “Twitter Tuesday” posts that I’ve shared with you, I’m amazed at how each week, I always have something new to share. Today’s post is something I re-discovered a few days ago, after making tweaks to my own Twitter background.


I kept the same beach photo I’d taken last summer as my main background, because it fits Charleston and it fits me. What’s new? We’ll, with the #NewTwitter moving the bio front and center, it seemed a bit repetitive to include the same few sentences about myself over in the new, more narrow space to the left of the main Twitter area. So, I took that away and decided instead to place more photos vertically in the far left background space.

Since I was making this update, I had a few photos taken of myself over the holiday break that I plugged in.  I'm a girl, and we care too much about our hair sometimes.  Mine is less red and longer, and since I meet many people locally through Twitter, I want to "look" as close to my profile pic as I can.  It's important.

I’ve also grown as a jewelry artist and creative person over the past year, and wanted to showcase more than just a pair of earrings for the creative/artsy work that I enjoy in addition to my online marketing tips and tutorials.

If you’re curious about what my updated background looks like, I hope you’ll hop over to Twitter so we can connect there as well.

Onto our tutorial…

When would you want to change your Twitter design colors? Here are two reasons I can think of off the top of my head…

~ Change your Twitter “design” colors to match your company branding / color scheme
~ Change your Twitter “design” colors if you wish to have more contrast between your background photo and your twitter color scheme
