Banner Design Strategy
Tell Your Professional Story
The best banners communicate something about who you are professionally. A data scientist might use data visualization patterns. A designer showcases creative color work.
Mobile Optimization
Over 60% of LinkedIn traffic comes from mobile. The banner crops differently, so keep critical elements in the center third.

Banner Design Tips
- Avoid text in the banner: Text in images is hard to read on mobile and not searchable
- Keep it subtle: Your banner supports your profile, not overpower it
- Use industry colors: Blue for tech, green for sustainability, warm tones for creative
- Update regularly: Refresh when you change roles or rebrand
- Check dark mode: Your banner should look good in both themes
