Yep, it is true! I have put together some simple backgrounds you can use for Twitter. These are different from the other backgrounds I have put up in the past as they are full size at 1300×1500 pixels and should cover your entire background instead of tile.

Here are a few examples. The rest can be sen on the Twitter backgrounds page.

It is a new addition to the site since the new layout less than two weeks ago. Please remember to pass the word about them if you like them or think they would be a great resource for other Twitter users.

I have also decided to put on the Twitter Backgrounds page that I offer services to do custom twitter backgrounds since there are plenty of people who are on Twitter for business reasons. I am charging $10, which is pretty cheap. To inquire more about it you can use the contact form here at Blondish.

Well, as usual, I end up stumbling on something by chance and this time is was CrowdSpring.com. CrowdSpring is a site that gives freelancers a way to put their best work forward instead of bidding. How? Well, when you sign up and fill out your portfolio, you can go and browse the job postings. When you find one, click on the details of that job, and you can get right to work.

Instead of putting out a proposal in words, you are submitting your work for the buyer’s consideration. The best work chosen is the person that will be paid. Yes, it seems like a big contest, but how many times have you seen bids on other freelance sites get negative reviews because they could not keep their side of the deal. The great thing is that these places already paid and the money is kept in escrow by CrowdSpring, so if you are chosen, you will be paid.

Pretty cool, huh?

Projects that are posted can be for logo design, web design, general graphic design, and even print design. It is free to join.

Do you participate in any freelance websites? Have you tried CrowdSpring?

I have finished another basic tutorial. It is on how to vector a guitar. The tutorial can be done in most graphic editors, but I have used it in Paint Shop Pro only because I happened to have it open and just went with it at the time.

As you can already see, I use a variation of this in the head image of this site. I have already been asked many times since I unveiled the layout late Sunday evening on how I do this. There are some images, but the original image is actually well over 1200 pixels tall, so the images for the tutorial I have only linked them and you will have to open them in a new window.

I hope it helps for some who want to create new types of images. I will be sure to have a vector tutorial of a bottle, a similar one to the bottle in my previous layout. With that one, I did it on my own without a base, but I went around and found something as similar to my image.

I do not have too many tutorials on my site, so what kind of tutorials would you like me to post on the site?
