Spent my summer with my daughter in Florida like we do every year.

We had so much fun in Florida, lots of swimming and a few theme parks. But I must say, the best part was the quality father & daughter time we spent together!

Now I’m back to business and back grindin’!

I have a few projects that I’m currently working on that’ll probably keep me busy for awhile. But I will post updates and finished work as much as possible and also squeeze in a few random stuff.
Thanks to everyone who continued to stop by my site to either read my posts, view my portfolio or download a template. I appreciate you. I also appreciate the feedback whether it’s negative or positive, it helps me grow!

Stay focused, stay creative!

Yeah it does waste time but some do lead to good projects.

So this theme is for all the shoe lovers out there.

I know there’s many different templates floating around the internet already of many different sizes, I’m just sharing with you the one I use to make my custom backgrounds.

I made this template with Photoshop CS4 and should work with versions CS2 and CS3. It is pretty self-explanatory and you shouldn’t have any problems customizing it. But if you do need help with it feel free to leave a comment or checkout the video slide instructions below.

This template’s size is 1680 x 1050px and is best viewed on a monitor with a 1280 x 800 resolution. According to W3Schools.com, 1024 x 768px or higher is the most used resolutions. Personally I use 1280 x 800 so if your going to use this template, you will need to change or upgrade your screen size to that for best results.

How to use my Twitter Background Template

If you find this useful, please comment below.

A lot of people have been downloading the template, but no comments or links to their finished background.
If you have found your way to this post and haven’t downloaded the template yet, I will send the link to download it, just drop me a comment below or send me a Tweet Twitter.com/itsDoug
Thanks!

I’m looking forward to seeing this movie. It actually looks pretty good unlike other horror film remakes (ie. Halloween).
