What I Did

1. Read Create a New Twitter Header in 3 Easy Steps.

2. Noted the potential problems w/ header text in the post Comments.

3. Opted to focus on creating cropped photo headers.

4. Selected a random photo and cropped it in PicMonkey (see post).

5. Uploaded the cropped photo into Twitter as a header.

I wanted to see what the input of a 1500x500 cropped photo looked like as a header output.

Recropped to adjust content at the edge of the image. Practiced until I was confident I could control crop-to-header process.

6. Curated an new ImageHolder folder of images with header potential.

7. Cropped, tested and saved 32 photo headers in a new Twitter Header file. They can be used as is or as starting points for layered work in the future.
