Twitter Background For Another Buyer

I wish I have paid more attention to Leo when he was teaching me the basics of Adobe Photoshop. I used to work as a customer representative for a printing and publishing company and have seen our graphic designer worked on different magazine layouts.

That was six years ago. I can't remember a thing he taught me now but I am sure if I have Photoshop installed in my computer, I would have already used it to create different Twitter backgrounds.

Here's one I made for an oDesk buyer. I used Corel Draw and Corel Photo Paint to create this design. I cannot use the logo on her website http://myonlinemeals.com so I had to copy the whole thing and duplicate it on Corel Draw. Looks ok so far.

Here's a close up of the logo:










And here's her new Twitter background! Like it?

What Kind of Jobs are Available on Odesk?


There's a variety of jobs you can apply for on oDesk.

There are data entry jobs such as uploading images online, typing and cleaning up documents, making PowerPoint presentations, data manipulation on Microsoft Excel.

There are also research jobs you can work on. Sometimes your client will require you to make a one or two-page report based on what info you've collected. Sometimes you will be required to visit websites and company blogs to look up some info. You might even be assigned tasks to collect data as you go and record them in Google Docs or in Excel.

If you are a graphic artist, be on the lookout for companies needing logos and blog headers. Put your best foot forward. Show them your best work. If they like your designs and see you as a potential, who knows? You could end up working for them long term.
