A lot of it is just trial & error. I used the main colors of the game for a lot of the main page elements, and then for the banner and background images, I drew specific artworks just for them. It took a lot of tweaking and re-exporting, especially for the looping background, but eventually I got it somewhere nice. Also, the rounded pixel corners at the top near the banner is actually part of the banner image itself.
As for the animated gifs: itch lets you upload screenshots while you're uploading a game, and it allows .gif files. In fact, I believe you can even do gif's for the banner and background, though I haven't tested that yet.
Sorry I'm a bit late to this. I had college start right as the submission period ended for the jam, so I've been a bit preoccupied as of late.

This itch.io page looks awesome! You gotta give me some tips on how to do this!

No worries, thanks for the response! I'll try the gifs next time I do a game jam. Good luck with college!
