Templates to create your own
- Download the blank PNG, the PSD for Photoshop or the XCF for The GIMP
- Copy your existing avatar into a new layer
- Move that layer between the #nocleanfeed and Background layers
- Desaturate the coloured avatar layer (so it’s just black and white)
- Set that layer to between 30% and 50% transparent
