I run an entertainment-focused YouTube channel and want to level up my thumbnails while I’m still learning the craft myself. I’d like you to design a series of clean, eye-catching thumbnails and walk me through the decisions you make so I can steadily improve. What matters most to me: bold, easy-to-read text, high-contrast colours that pop in the feed, and images that feel instantly relevant to each video’s topic. Along the way, please give clear, constructive pointers on overall layout, colour choices, and any other design tips that will make my future work stronger. Typical tools you might use—Photoshop, Illustrator, Canva, or Figma—are all fine as long as the final files are layered and editable. Standard YouTube sizing (1280 × 720, <2 MB) applies. Deliverables • A set of thumbnails ready to upload, plus the editable source files • Quick written notes or a brief Loom walkthrough explaining your design choices so I can replicate the approach on my own next time I’m happy to iterate, learn, and tweak together until everything looks spot-on.
