What Does Your Banner Say About You?

Your banner isn’t decoration.

When it comes to branding, it’s extremely important because…

It’s your billboard.

People see it before they read your bio.

Before they scroll your content.

And most banners are doing… nothing.

Most banners are…

→ Stock photos

→ Empty gradients

→ Random landscape photos

→ Or worse: blank

That’s dead space you’re not utilizing. So let’s fix it right now 👇🏽

Examples:

PS. Nobody likes big words. And there’s no need for it to look fancy. Keep it simple.

If someone can’t explain you in one sentence after seeing the top section of your profile, it’s not working.

Don’t be shy.

Your banner can guide users to take action.
You’re not forcing anyone to do anything.

Let it just… exist.

BTW… Your profile has three make-or-break assets:

your banner, bio, and pinned post.

If you want a profile that feels relatable, cohesive, and unforgettable... grab this kit that walks you through achieving it step by step.

This is how people remember you.

If your brand were a symbol… what would it be?

Make that the background or subject of your banner.

Me?

I’m a lighthouse with an orange heart 🧡

Your banner should feel like it belongs to you, not a template on Canva.

→ If your PFP is your face → keep banner abstract
→ If your PFP is a logo → banner can show you or your story

Visual balance is extremely important so your profile doesn’t look chaotic.

_______

▪ Canva → fast, clean, brand kits
▪ Figma → more control, advanced design tools
▪ Grok / Midjourney → generate custom backgrounds (can overlay text after)

You don’t need fancy. You need to be intentional about what’s on your banner.

_______

→ Use 3:1 (could be any px 1500:500 / 3000:1000 etc…)
