Skinning twitter

My first piece of web design just went live! (I’ve done logos for web before, but not much more than that.) I ‘skinned’ Ian’s twitter page, with a design that reflects both personal interests (mountains and skiing) and professional interests (using the logo design I did for the jayeyesea blog.)

Skinning twitter is pretty easy – the main job is the background image – the challenge is to do something that works well at different screen widths – to deal with this the full image is 1920 pixels wide, and the ‘seahorse’ logo repeats at carefully chosen intervals to work well with common screen resolutions (I hope! Tell me if it doesn’t.) You can then adjust the colours of text, links, etc under settings->profile.

Here are some screen-shots, or check it out at http://twitter.com/ianleader.
