Motion designers bring stories to life through movement, timing, and rhythm, so your LinkedIn profile should look every bit as polished as a finished frame. Your banner is a still hero image standing in for your reel — the first impression of your craft before a recruiter or client hits play on your portfolio. Choose a background with dynamic composition and confident colour, a sense of energy held in a single frame, while keeping your profile photo legible. Whether you work in broadcast, UI motion, title design, or animated content, a considered header signals the polish you bring to every keyframe. Reviewers judge motion talent on taste fast, so make the still count. Every image on this page is sized to LinkedIn’s exact 1584×396px banner area, so it uploads pixel-perfect with no awkward cropping over your profile photo.
