Grunge and abstract are some of my favorite designs. I did a <a href="http://twitterpatted.com/jesus-grunge-style-nails-twitter-background/" rel="nofollow">twitter grunge background</a> for Easter and had a blast creating it. I have gone a resolution higher and am currently creating <a href="http://twitterpatted.com" rel="nofollow">twitter backgrounds</a> at 1600 x 1024. I figure at the rate things move it won't be long until 1600 x 1024 is the current resolution used by most users. Great tutorial Jenny, I love the grunge aspect.
