Design Tips for Great Banner Backgrounds
Apply these best practices as you design custom banner backgrounds:
Keep it simple
Avoid cluttered designs that are difficult to process visually. Use ample negative space.
Contrast colors –
Black or dark text on a light background works best. White text on dark backgrounds causes readability issues.
Align elements thoughtfully
Use visual hierarchy and white space to make key info stand out.
Resize without distortion
Maintain proper aspect ratio when resizing for banner dimensions.
Check image resolution
Use high-resolution photos that won’t get pixelated when enlarged.
Limit text
Fewer words make more impact. Put essential info in headings and subtitles.
Add textures or filters
Use textures and photo editing filters in moderation. They can look gimmicky if overdone.
Review on all devices – See how your banner backgrounds look on desktop and mobile to ensure responsive design.
By keeping these tips in mind, you can produce banner backgrounds that capture attention across devices and draw in your target audiences.
