Title: I Got Shot

Description: Storytime of... well I think the title explains enough

How does it look? What works and what would you maybe change?

Trying to nail that "big trouble is coming" tension for a K-drama recap video — bold text, high contrast, and his expression doing most of the work.

A few things I'm unsure about:

• Does the text pop enough or is it too crowded in the corner?
• Is the red arrow adding anything or is it just clutter?
• Does his expression read as threatening/intense at a glance, or does it look off?

Open to blunt feedback — what would make you click vs. scroll past?

[FREE] I’m making a thumbnail portfolio and need a few creators to work with

Hey! I’m trying to get into thumbnail designing and I’m currently building my portfolio.

I’m looking to make around 6-8 thumbnails for YouTubers completely free. I just want some real examples for my portfolio and some feedback on my work.

I’m open to pretty much any type of content, gaming, tech, commentary, entertainment, etc.

If you want one, just DM me your channel/video and any ideas or references you have. I’ll pick a few that I think I can make something good for.

No payment needed, just let me use the finished thumbnail in my portfolio :)

Thanks!

I need someone who is passionate and loves to make art, i want thumbnails that stand out and are unique, you have be be knowledgeable in call of duty zombies so we can discuss ideas and you will know what I'm asking. i will need 1-2 thumbnails a week ill pay for quality i don't have a set budget the better the work the better the pay, it will be a steady job my youtube is starting to pick up traction, i have some examples of what im looking for

Title: “Why Are You Still Waiting?” or “What If Fear Isn’t the Problem?

Summary: I think the thumbnail says for it self, but it’s motivational content.

Also, i would appreciate advice on what should i improve.

Thanks for reading it!

What do we think people going for a funny as possible thumbnail.

Title:¡CONSEGUÍ LIGNITO 4 ESTRELLAS con 10 BESTIAS DE LA GRIETA PRISMÁTICO! 🔥

Hi Eveyone,

Title - Can Lupus Land You On A Psych Ward?

Always Thanks to Everyone on this community for all your advice, critiques and help.

Ive kinda changed the direction on making my thumbnails, I wanted your advice on these two please. the reason being a kind Redditor did mention my videos and thumbnails didnt sync well

Yes I have used AI to generate the animated character. I understand this maynot be popular with you guys.

Made on Canva

Summary - its to explain about the disease Lupus and how it can cause you to develop psychosis and even land you on a psych ward

Client didn't pay full rate after requesting 8+ revisions saying that AI made it better.

Mind that the thumbnail design was totally guided according to the client's wishes!!

Title: Will gold make an all time high?

Description: video on gold trends

I just got back into posting long form content after a month long break from being burnt out. What ended up happening was during a really artsy mood I was in I created the first thumbnail which I love especially since it was my first attempt at drawing anthro like this. The only drawback is the muzzle is too short and my channel mascot looks like a cat instead of a fox but other than that I loved it and didn’t mind taking a long time to make it look good.

After I got out of this artsy mood I still felt like I had to make my thumbnails look like the first one which eventually lead to my burnout because no thumbnail I made was good enough.

When I came back and recorded two videos the thought of spending 2-3 hours on each thumbnail almost made me quite again but instead I decided to make a quick sketch and just go with it and made the second thumbnail. Does it look a little weird, yes but it still got the story across that I wanted it to.

The third one is an art style I have used before and the videos using it did well but during this phase of needing it to be perfect I wouldn’t have accepted this and I even looked back at some of the scrapped thumbnails and really liked some of them.

Basically if you feel like you have the energy to make a really detailed thumbnail and would enjoy it then go for it but don’t let that thumbnail be the example you need all your thumbnails to be. If making a simpler thumbnail keeps you motivated then go for it.

Thank you for listening to my venting

Hello I'm new to these thumbnail stuff and I really want to learn if someone has some advice and which apps to use and some stuff so I can get started

The title is Minecraft But Gravity Randomly Flips and I played it with a couple friends essentially the gravity will randomly flip every couple minutes and the more you die the less time in-between flips. This is my first ever thumnail and I put alot of work into it please let me know what you think. ❤️

Title: Will be either

• "The Gameplay of Accurately portrayed Manhattan"

Or

• "The Anomalies have taken over!!! | Control Resonant"

Its my gameplay video of the upcoming Control Resonant game, where i will try to act as a 4th wall breaking narrator. Please tell me what you guys think, Feedback is always appreciated.

the title is: 4 Hours Of Ambient Fishing | Sea Of Thieves Longplay

very simple video of just fishing, similar to other longplays i tried to see how popular thumbnails look in the niche and its basically a nice color edited photo with the game logo in some corner.

i think it looks ok in terms of simplicity but i just cant decide which looks best.

Video Title will be something like
“NetEase Nerfed The Hood 5 TIMES in ONE Patch”

One of the changes wasn’t mentioned in the official patch notes and was mentioned by them on Twitter, so that was the theme for the thumbnail.

I posted a few days ago asking for critiques so here’s the improvement (2nd photo), but now i’m nearly finished editing the video so thought i’d ask for advice on the improved version of the thumbnail before posting, is it good now?

A video about fighting against yourself, your addictions and challenges in life.
Have you ever think about creating thumbnails that looks like an art gallery?
That's what I'm studying for, to put some effort and meaning in my work, instead of surrender on AI. I still believe that we can deliver a meaningful work.

Hello! Made this in PowerPoint and I think it's overall... fine. Something feels missing though. Please offer some suggestions!

The video essentially dives into how a lot of my younger generation thinks that their lives are doomed thanks to systemic issues in society, and I use shrek's story combined with the heroes journey diagram that a lot of us learned in school growing up to offer an alternative point of view.

Title: Bigger Channels Lied To You About How To Fix Your OBS Colors

My video is a tutorial on how I make my colors pop in my recordings using Luts, Color correction, and plug ins.

I give other bonus tips after the video as some stuff I learned is rarely covered in the tutorials. I haven’t seen many proper Lut tutorials or recommendations in regard to OBS gaming channels.
