Desktop vs. Mobile Display

- Displays full height (315 pixels)
- Profile picture appears on left side, partially overlapping banner
Mobile View
- Shows approximately 640 pixels width (center portion)
- Displays full height
- Profile picture centered, overlapping more of the banner
Safe Zones for Text Placement
To ensure your text is visible across all devices:
- Avoid the left 170 pixels (desktop profile picture area)

- Center-right placement is safest for important text
- Top half of banner is generally safer than bottom half
Common Banner Mistakes
