Prompt
Create image Hyper-realistic professional headshot of the person in the reference image, preserving their facial features and likeness. Square 1:1 composition, chest-up, face filling the frame with tight headroom. Direct eye contact, slight genuine smile, approachable and confident. Wearing a tailored charcoal blazer with visible texture. Clean studio background in soft muted blue-gray for strong subject separation. Soft overhead softbox lighting, natural catchlights in the eyes, realistic skin texture with visible pores and fine hair detail. Shot on an 85mm lens at f/2, smooth background blur. Modern, clean, warm color grade.
Attach a clear photo of your face to the same ChatGPT message before you send this.

FixYour banner
- Show what you build instead of using a blank or stock banner.
- Put your work and topics centre-right.
- Leave the bottom-left clear for your profile photo.
Prompt
Create image LinkedIn banner, landscape 1584x396px. Clean, modern, no people, no face, no photo of a person anywhere in it. BACKGROUND: soft flowing gradient, lavender purple (#C9A7F5) on the left sweeping into sky blue (#8FD3F7) on the right, with a bright white wave curving through the middle. Smooth and airy, no hard shapes, no patterns. TEXT: placed centre-right. Keep the bottom-left quarter completely empty, because the LinkedIn profile photo covers it. Line 1, large bold black uppercase sans-serif: "[WHAT YOU BUILD, 3 TO 5 WORDS]" Line 2, smaller black uppercase sans-serif, wide letter-spacing, separated by centred dots: "[TOPIC · TOPIC · TOPIC]" AVOID: any person, face or photo, icons, logos, stock graphics, more than two lines of text, any text in the bottom-left quarter, drop shadows on text. Ensure all visible text is correctly spelled. Generate and show me.
Swap the bracketed lines for what you actually build.
