Use a very wide composition with the focal subject and any logo safely inside the center area. Medium’s medium header is shallow and responsive, so tall subjects and edge-aligned text can be clipped.

What dimensions should a medium-size Medium publication header use?
Medium requires at least 1500 pixels of width and an 8:1 ratio. This preset uses 1504×188 as an exact-ratio working canvas.
Will the 1504×188 preset prevent every crop?
Medium’s medium header is shallow and responsive, so tall subjects and edge-aligned text can be clipped. Keep the source file so you can revise the crop if the destination changes its layout or requirements.
