Thumbnails
Our approach includes the following:
Understand the Content:
Before starting the design process, we review/discuss the content or topic of the material we are creating the thumbnail for. We aim to know the main message and target audience to ensure your thumbnail aligns with the content.
Gather Visual Assets:
Collect relevant images, headshots, graphics, or screenshots that represent the content accurately. These assets are usually clear and of high quality.
Choose a Headshot & Background:
Start with a suitable headshot and background that complements the content and catches the viewer's attention. The Headshot could be, shocked, happy, confused, angry, etc, (Examples here) depending on the main message and what we are trying to portray in the thumbnail. The background could be a solid color, gradient, pattern, or an image that enhances the theme.
Create a Focal Point:
Decide on a central focal point that draws attention to the thumbnail. This could be a captivating image, bold text, or a combination of both.
Add Eye-Catching-Title:
We incorporate a clear and concise title that explains the content and encourages viewers to click. Sometimes we won’t need to use a title as some of the best thumbnails use imagery as well as ‘mystery’ to draw in the viewer's attention.
Use Contrasting Colors:
Ensure the title and other important elements have enough contrast against the background to make them easily readable.
Emphasize Branding:
If applicable, include your brand logo, colors, or other brand elements to maintain consistency across your content.
Balance & Composition:
Arrange the elements in a balanced and visually pleasing manner. Follow principles of design such as rule of thirds, symmetry, or asymmetry to create a harmonious composition.
Highlights & Shadows:
This is where the design starts to come to life as we start to add highlights and shadows which creates depth, contrast, emphasis to the focal point, conveys texture, helps make elements pop and balances the composition.
Consider Thumbnail's Thumbnail:
Keep in mind that thumbnails are often displayed at smaller sizes before a viewer clicks on them. Make sure your design is still recognizable and enhanced at a smaller scale.
Test & Iterate:
Design multiple variations of the thumbnail if needed. Conduct A/B testing or seek feedback from others to determine which design resonates best with your audience.
Review & Finalize:
Double-check your design for any errors, typos, or inconsistencies. Make necessary adjustments and finalize the thumbnail.
Save in the Appropriate Format:
Save the thumbnail in the appropriate format (e.g., JPEG or PNG) and make sure the file size is suitable for quick loading.Monitor Performance:
After using the thumbnail, monitor its performance (e.g., click-through rate, engagement) and be ready to make improvements if needed. Remember, the thumbnail's purpose is to entice viewers to click on your content, so it should be visually appealing, relevant, and representative of what the audience can expect. Regularly updating and improving your thumbnail designs can also help keep your content fresh and engaging.
Yes! We love it when you share your ideas and vision. It helps our designers create your thumbnail.
The number of thumbnail design concepts we provide for a video can vary based on your preferences, workflow, and the complexity of the content. However, here are some general guidelines:
Single Design:
We can create a single, strong thumbnail design for your video. This can simplify the decision-making process and maintain a consistent visual style across their channel.
Variations:
We also can create a few variations of a thumbnail design to test different elements. This could include experimenting with colors, text placement, or images to see which one performs better in terms of click-through rate.
A/B Testing:
For more extensive testing, we might create multiple thumbnail concepts and conduct A/B testing. This involves showing different thumbnails to different segments of their audience to analyze which one performs better in terms of engagement.
Custom Thumbnails for Segments:
We tailor your thumbnail designs to specific audience segments. For example, if a video appeals to multiple interests, we might create different thumbnails to attract different groups within their audience.
Pricing varies based on your desires.Yes we do! When creating thumbnails for mobile devices, we consider the following:
Size and Resolution:
Ensure that your thumbnails are appropriately sized for mobile screens. Mobile devices have smaller screens than desktops, so you'll want to create thumbnails that are clear and easy to see on smaller displays.
Simplicity:
Keep your thumbnails simple and avoid clutter. Mobile screens are limited in size, and too much detail can make thumbnails look messy and difficult to decipher.
High Contrast and Visibility:
Use high contrast to make your thumbnails stand out on smaller screens. Make sure the key elements are visible, even when the thumbnail is scaled down.
Text Legibility:
If your thumbnails include text, ensure that it is legible on small screens. Use clear and large fonts, and avoid using too much text.
Testing:
Test your thumbnails on different mobile devices to ensure they look good on various screen sizes and resolutions. This can help you identify any issues and make adjustments accordingly.
Consistent Branding:
Maintain consistency with your brand elements, colors, and style across all thumbnails, regardless of the platform. This helps users recognize your content.
Mobile-Friendly Thumbnails:
Consider the design principles specific to mobile platforms. Some elements that work well on desktop may not translate as effectively to
mobile, so adapt your design accordingly.Yes you can! We offer one free round of revision.
The time that it takes for us to design 1 Thumbnail can be 1-3 days depending on the concept and complexity of the thumbnail brief. We usually spend 2-5 hours per thumbnail so we can design about 2-4 Thumbnails per day.

Resolution:The recommended resolution for YouTube thumbnails is 1280 x 720 pixels. This aspect ratio (16:9) matches the aspect ratio of most YouTube videos.

Use the RGB color mode, as YouTube displays thumbnails in this color mode.
