About the X (Twitter) header size
The X (formerly Twitter) header is 1500 by 500 pixels, a 3:1 banner. Your round profile photo sits over the lower-left corner, and X trims the header slightly depending on the viewport, so treat the very edges as expendable. Keep any wordmark or message centred or right of centre and above the bottom strip. A simple graphic survives the responsive cropping far better than a photo with a subject near an edge.
