Thumbnails
2025
Overview
-This collection features a handful of thumbnails from 2025. They’re bright, bold, and as always, uniquely mine.
The Challenge
-Working around clients’ unpredictable demands while still maintaining quality is a battle on its own.
Beyond that, the text elements in thumbnails are always a complicated task, they need to stand out, but not enough to overpower the story and hierarchy.
The Solution
-I leaned into the tried and true:
Blue skies, green grass, big arrows. Then I built upon these with personality and composition, making each piece distinct and original.
I focused heavily on refinement. Taking what works, cleaning it up, and shaping it to perform in the wild west that is the YouTube meta.
The Result
-My designs performed better than I expected. Shouldn't come as a surprise though, because it shows how much more people resonate with an artwork that was crafted with love from both the artist and content creator.
