Thumbnail

Design

I’ve designed captivating thumbnails using visual techniques to hook viewers into clicking videos for 2+ years in the industry.

With a strong foundation in visual design and a deep understanding of thumbnail design, I bring video ideas to eye-catching designs through thoughtful design clarity & smooth graphic elements.

Advanced YouTube Edit with Capcut

This thumbnail was designed for a how-to video titled as “Advanced YouTube Editing with Capcut” on the channel “Decoding YT”. The main design idea was to directly show what’s in the video. Thumbnail was uploaded after A/B Testing.

Drake Ate Kendrick with this diss track!

This specific thumbnail was for a reaction YouTube channel named as “Samuel Reacts”. The video was entitled “Drake Ate Kendrick with this diss track” & the design idea I implemented was simple and effective for reaction channels. A/B Tested Too.

Why men tend to get excited on women?

This was probably one of the most tiring yet best thumbnail works I’ve done. The video “Why men tend to get excited on women” by “Rusells” was a Psychological Explainer video and I designed the thumbnail to really explain the romantic excitement of men.

My palworld world got hijacked, WHY!

“Kristina” is a small gaming creator who ordered this thumbnail for her palworld gaming series. This was her video 9 and I tried to show how the video is to be expected. I also used design principles and ideation to match the design with the title. A/B Tested too.

My workflow
of thumbnail designing

Workflow &
Strategy for Design

01

Research
& Inspiration

It all starts with researching
on similar videos on social media & then getting good thumbnail inspirations to take design elements from.

02

Video Ideation
& Design Clarity

Next up we get the script from the creator along side the title
he has added to it. This gives us design clarity on what to add and what not to!

03

Visual
Heirarchy

The real designing work starts
here. I design the thumbnail
in Photoshop add elements that are provided & necessary and give it initial touches.

04

Clickbait
& Video Hook

Just before finalizing the
designs, I ensure that design is fully clickable & hooks
the viewer to click directly after looking at it.

05

A/B
Testing

If the creator wants two thumbnails for A/B testing we provide 2 thumbnails insuring both of them are related to the video. The best one is then uploaded after testing.

06

Final
Research

Even after the upload we test thumbnail's performance in the initial upload dates. This gives us a good idea on how to design the next thumbnail
