When talking about relationships, be it business, social, or hobby in today’s world you need an online presence. One of the most common ways to develop an online presence is twitter. If you have a twitter page that is enough reason to make it unique and personal. Here is a quick and easy way to update your twitter page using photos and images. 15 minutes is all it takes to have a whole new look on twitter.
I have used two common programs to construct this background. The first is Ifranview; this program is used to resize the image we will create in PowerPoint. If you do not have Ifran, it is a free download that is very handy for all types of projects involving photos. Unfortunately this program is not available for Macs, if you are on a Mac, you will need an alternative way to resize your photo.
The first step is to download this template as a ppt.
- Next, pick a few pictures to include (about six).
- Open the PowerPoint template.
- Click Insert--> Picture--> From File
- Select the first photo
- Resize the photo to fit along the left border of the template.
- Repeat until you have the left border filled.
- Next, fill in the top spaces and open sections along with the right border.
- Save as a jpeg
- Open in Ifran and click Imageà Resize/Resample
- Set your width to 1920 and Height at 1200
- Save image as jpeg
Here is a page I created using this process.
If you use this and create a new background, add me and let me know. I would like to check out what you came up with as well.
