Your LinkedIn banner has exactly one job: tell viewers what you do and what you're looking for. That's it.
The reality? Most people will see it on mobile, squinting at a tiny screen while scrolling on their commute.
What actually works:
✅ Big, clear text (think 3-4 words max)
✅ Solid colour background (no busy photos)
