Twitter Profile Design

If you are an artist, or you represent an artist, you are probably using Twitter to communicate with fans.  If you’re not, give yourself a slap and then go and register.  Go on, we’ll wait…  Done it?  Ok.

While Twitter does not allow as much flexibility design-wise as, say, MySpace, you do have the option to upload your own background image.  You should be making the most of this by creating a background that mirrors the design of your website, MySpace profile, YouTube channel, etc, to ensure that you have a consistent design across all platforms through which people might discover your music.
