How to Design an Effective Cover Image

Your cover isn’t just a background — it’s the emotional tone of your profile. It complements your avatar and immediately sets the context for what you do.

Choose colors and visual elements that harmonize with your avatar and upcoming content. Think of each color like a musical note: together, they create a sense of unity and completion.

For a consistent and professional profile design, pick background colors and textures that align with your avatar and upcoming posts. A well-balanced color palette helps establish your brand identity and creates a unified visual impression.

The key is to avoid clutter and maintain a strong visual focus. Let the attention stay on you and your work not on distracting elements.

Tip: Avoid using small text on your cover. It may look unreadable on mobile devices. If you must include words, keep it short and bold a slogan or a few well-chosen emojis can do the trick.

Polee cover recommendations:

  • Use a 2:1 format.

  • Keep important elements away from the avatar zone — place them in the bottom left corner.
