Ignite is a pretty simple idea: you can talk about whatever you want, as long as it takes 5 minutes sharp, using 20 […]

    I’ve been ask recently if I was a ‘native digital’, e.g. born in a digital world and using digital tool since I was a kid…
    Most people my age (I’m 38 yo) are not, but thanks to my dad, I am. My first computer (Ti58, then a Ti99/4a) was a gift from dad in 1981, I […]

    Today, monitoring a topic on the internet requires either a great amount of time or a great amount of technical skills. In both case, you will also need a strong editorial discipline.

Photoshop template to customize your Twitter profile page

Par Fabrice Epelboin

There’s been some buzz recently to create the hard way a more personalized profile page on Twitter, basicaly, you better master Photoshop… So far, so good, I can do that, but I’m lazy, and I started by looking for a premade template to start with… Since I haven’t found anything, I started coding one (can you say coding for Photoshop work… Guess I’m more a geek than a graphic designer).

Since I’m a web2 guy, I just had to share that, so you can download the Photoshop template here.

I’m using Adobe’s Helvetica thin (57/77) as the main font, so you’ll probably have a warning when opening the file with Photoshop, and you’ll have to change the font to whatever, and of course, I expect you to change the picture ;-)

If you’re looking for color shemes, take a look here, or here.

Everything is in creative commons, you can do whatever you want with it, just drop a comment here with you twitter profile.

By the way, my twitter profile is @epelboin, add me :-)

UPDATE: If your looking for something a little more sober, you can try this template (download it here)

    Very good, I don’t quite understand though, are you just using a solid graphic for a background image, similar to the old Myspace profile hacks?

  14. Fabrice Epelboin a fait ce commentaire le 20 août 2008 | Permalien

    Exactely, I’m using a solid and very large JPG as a background, they’re no other way to do that… kind of a rought hack, but it does the job.

  15. Jonathan Coffman a fait ce commentaire le 25 août 2008 | Permalien

    I really liked your template, but I did find that it’s designed for users with fairly high monitor resolutions. So I resized the elements so that it looks nice for people with 1024×768 (which is a large percentage of www users I hear).

    I’ve implemented it at http://www.twitter.com/pbsengage
