As the new guide reveals, a well-designed LinkedIn banner can significantly enhance a profile's visual appeal and is a great opportunity for business owners to showcase their brand and company values. With 77% of recruiters now using LinkedIn to secure new employees, users must ensure that their banner is both informative and visually appealing.

The experts at Linked Leads DFY highlight the importance of choosing a high-quality photo when optimizing LinkedIn banners. To reflect a professional look, readers are advised to choose high-resolution photographs, with a minimum of 1000 x 425 pixels. Photos should be crisp and clear, reflecting both personality and brand. "It's important to pick an image that resonates with who you are as a person and as a professional," explain the experts, "- something that conveys your values in the most effective way possible."

In addition to a well-optimized photo, the guide recommends selecting a focal point to increase a banner's visual appeal. The use of contrasting colors and bold typography can draw recruiters' attention to the center of the frame, which should include users' names and professional titles.

The guide stresses the importance of using simple, professional fonts that fit company branding but that are easy to read on all devices. The experts explain: "When deciding on what font to choose, you should aim for legibility above all else. No matter how visually appealing a font may be, if the text is hard to read then it won't have the desired effect. It's also worth noting that some fonts are harder than others to read on mobile devices due to their size or weight."

Alongside simple, easy-to-read fonts, a LinkedIn banner's design should be minimalistic and uncluttered so as not to overwhelm the viewer. This could involve cutting down on unnecessary graphics that may distract from the overall message.
