Dick Jordan Profile Examples • Bay Area Travel Writers' member Dick Jordan has done an excellent job of using photos in his social media profiles. • All your profile photos (headshots) and background photos should reflect your brand and also your website colors. Be consistent on using the same headshot/logo images, tho not necessarily identical images for background photos. • Note: NEW! LinkedIn personal profiles now offer a background photo. Use canva.com to make photos fit the dimensions provided.
