in: Twitter
by: Katie Hellmuth Martin
Getting the word out about your business via the content on your website is getting better and easier. One of our favorite image poster apps here at Tin Shingle is WordSwag, which I have written about before, and you'll want to notice this one easy tool in that you might miss if you didn't have your bifocals on or if you didn't have laser vision:
Twitter Preview Area
If you've read our Social Media Size Guide, or listened to our TuneUp on how to make images for different social platforms, then you will have heard me say before: If there is copy on a picture you are sharing in Twitter, make sure it is in the middle of the photo. Otherwise, it will get cut off or cropped a weird way.
Enter WordSwag - your app to instantly put the coolest combinations of fonts and layouts with the tip of your finger onto a photo of your choice. No design required - WordSwag does the design fory you. WordSwag has taken the concept of "that was easy" one step further by drawing crop marks in the area that Twitter will display your words. See in the picture below:
Pretty neat, huh? This is a screenshot of mine when I was changing the color of the font, and I was enlarging the words by dragging with my two fingers. When fingers are on the words, image crop marks will appear on the top and bottom of the words, and a tiny message will appear that says: "TWITTER PREVIEW AREA".
Do you see it?
So if you are publishing your photo in Twitter, use these lines as your guides!
