Generate a LinkedIn profile banner that states your positioning in words, not just imagery
A wide-format personal-branding banner brief for the 1584x396 LinkedIn cover slot, anchored on a short positioning line rendered as real text rather than a vague abstract background.
The prompt
Ready to copy — highlighted parts are example details you can swap.
Design goal: a LinkedIn profile banner for someone who wants their positioning line visible at a glance, not just decorative background art. Format: 1584x396 wide banner, safe zone for the profile photo circle left blank in the bottom-left corner. Text to render exactly: main line reads "Helping B2B SaaS teams cut churn by 30%", smaller line below it reads "Fractional Head of Customer Success", both left-aligned in the right two-thirds of the frame so they clear the profile photo circle. Visual style: clean corporate-modern with subtle geometric linework, background pattern or texture: thin diagonal grid lines fading toward the edges, palette: navy, white, and a single accent of teal. What to avoid: no photorealistic faces, no stock-photo-style people, no text crammed into the bottom-left corner where the profile photo will overlap it, no more than two lines of quoted text total.
Customize
Optional — swap in your own details for the highlighted parts above.
Why this works
Most LinkedIn banner generations from other image models default to abstract gradient wallpaper because that's the safest thing a model can produce when it doesn't have a reliable way to draw the words that actually carry the message — which means the banner ends up saying nothing. This prompt is built around that gap: it treats the positioning line as the actual point of the image and gives Ideogram exactly the short strings it renders most reliably, split into a main line and a supporting line so the hierarchy is unambiguous rather than one run-on sentence. The explicit safe-zone instruction (profile-photo circle left blank, text confined to the right two-thirds) exists because LinkedIn's fixed circular photo mask sits in a known location on every profile, and a model with no knowledge of that UI overlay will happily center your one good line directly behind where the photo goes — naming the dead zone up front avoids a banner that has to be manually recropped after generation. Capping it at two quoted lines keeps both strings inside Ideogram's comfortable accuracy range for verbatim text.
What you get back
A wide corporate-style banner with the positioning statement rendered clearly across the right two-thirds, a shorter title line beneath it, and the bottom-left corner left visually quiet where the profile photo will sit.
