Take a look at the graphics

Your post should be attractive and colorful enough to make the visitor stop and have a look. Too much or too little graphics can be a tease off for the visitor. Make your post accurate in terms of the logo design, ratio, and everything else. Hire a professional if you cannot manage to do all of it yourself.
