YouTube thumbnail system

Thumbnails for my own channel, @viratdigitalmarketing, built on one template that stays readable at YouTube's smallest sizes.

Tools: Photoshop

The YouTube thumbnail system for @viratdigitalmarketing, presented on a desk: the title "YouTube Thumbnail System, From Idea to Click", a laptop showing the "Digital Marketing for Beginners" thumbnail being designed, and three more thumbnails from the same template above it: "AI Tools for Creators", "Channel Grow" and "Video Editing for Beginners".

The brief

Thumbnails for my own channel, @viratdigitalmarketing, designed to be recognisable from one video to the next and readable at a glance on a phone.

Approach

One template carries every upload: the presenter on one side, three or four words in heavy two-colour type, in English or Hindi, and icons for the tools the video covers.
