Create a professional LinkedIn banner background in wide 16:9 format (1584x396 composition). Theme: [YOUR INDUSTRY, e.g. software / finance / design]. Style: modern corporate β€” city skyline at dusk with a deep blue gradient overlay, subtle geometric lines, soft glow. Keep the left third clean and dark (where the profile photo overlaps). Mood: trustworthy, ambitious, premium. Details: crisp, uncluttered, no text, no watermark, no logos. Make it look like a Fortune 500 executive's banner β€” the background that makes a profile look serious.
