🚨 WHAT’S ON YOUR BANNER?

You have one horizontal canvas to make people see how you express yourself, feel something, and remember you.

Most people waste it.

It’s either:

→ a stock photo

→ an empty landscape

→ or worse, nothing at all

That’s dead space you’re not utilizing to spread your ‘brand’ message.

Let’s fix that.

🎨 WHAT YOUR BANNER SHOULD DO

Your banner should visually extend your brand.

Ask yourself:

→ What do I want someone to feel when they land on my profile?

→ What is the vibe of my brand?

→ What colors do I want people to associate with me?

→ Is there anything I can’t fit in my bio or pinned post I need to show?

Now reverse engineer a banner from that.

🧩 Here’s What to Include on Your Banner ⤵

A Quote
↳ Personal motto, belief, or bold stance
↳ Ex: “Built Different.” “Explain Things Simply.” “You Don’t Need Permission.”

Your Offer
↳ What do you do + for who
↳ Ex: “Helping 9–5ers build a freelance life.” “AI-Powered Content for Creators.”

Call to Action
↳ Your website, lead magnet, or community
↳ Add: “Subscribe” with a little down arrow.

Visual Symbol of Your Brand
↳ Lighthouse. Dragon. Musical Instruments. Whatever your anchor is… put it here.

Brand Colors
↳ Don’t just slap a random Canva gradient. Make the colors and style compliment your profile picture, pinned post or overall vibe. Make the palette feel cohesive.

🖼️ USE THIS STRUCTURE

1. Core Message
→ This is the text or visual that reflects your identity or offer.

2. Visual Aesthetics
→ Consistent colors. Clean layout. High resolution (1500×500px). Less is more.

3. Emotional Cue
→ Do they feel trust? Curiosity? Power? Pick one and design for it.

BTW…. If you want me to make you a banner with your cohesive branding needs, I can do it for you. Just book it here:

DON’T OVERTHINK IT

You can use tools like:

▪ Canva (use custom brand kits + align elements)

▪ Figma (more advanced, clean layout control)

▪ Grok or Midjourney (generate a custom background with AI, then overlay text)

Bonus tip:

If your face is in your PFP, keep your banner abstract.

If your PFP is a logo or design, you can use your banner to show your face or tell your story.

☑ YOUR MISSION ^{_{(should you choose to accept it)}}

1. Audit your current banner

   → Does it say anything? Or is it just… a background?

2. Pick 1 core purpose

   → Quote? CTA? Offer? Visual vibe?

3. Choose your brand colors

   → Stick to 2–3 max. Use them consistently across banner, PFP border, content visuals.

4. Redesign with purpose

   → Canva is more than enough. Just don’t make it look like everyone else’s.

And again, if you need me to help, send me a DM or reply and let me know 😊 

Your banner = your brand billboard.

If it’s not saying something, it’s wasting potential.

Treat it like part of your content strategy.

I’ll see you on the next one
