We've got a new Designer Website coming out soon and to whet your appetite we've designed this FREE bundle to use in your internet marketing campaign! Included in the download are files for your Facebook profile picture, a background image and colors to use on Twitter, and a header for your blog!

All templates are layered Photoshop files. While sample data is included, you'll need to insert your logo and images. A basic knowledge of Photoshop and working with layers is recommended. Although Marathon cannot provide support for modifying these files, each PSD file should give you a great start!


Instructions:

  1. Within the downloaded ZIP file, you will find files marked for use on Facebook, Twitter, and Blog. Please open the PSD file that matches the social networking site you are working with.
  2. Select the layer of the image placeholder you wish to drop your first photo in to. Open the new photo you want to use to replace it, then drag or paste your photo directly over the image placeholder. Right click your photo and select "Create Clipping Mask". From here you can resize, rotate or drag your photo into it's desired position using the move tool. Continue repeating this process until all image placeholders are filled.
  3. Hide the logo layer and drop in your own logo. Feel free to add any additional design elements you want such as your tagline, address and/or phone number. Once you achieved your desired look, save as a .jpg file and upload to either Facebook or Twitter.
  4. For help with Twitter, log in and go to "Design." Which is found under Settings.
  5. If you need help updating your Facebook picture, try reading the documentation in the Facebook Help Center.

Our newest design will be coming soon. Keep an eye on our blog! If you have a question about the Designer Websites these templates are based on, please visit our website or contact a websites and services representative by calling 800/228.0629.
