Since 2020, I have created nearly 1,000+ YouTube thumbnails across several channels, from esports organizations, independent content creators in gaming, and chess historians. Styles have ranged from maximizing SEO strategies, incorporating pop culture references and memes, or creating stylistic thumbnails that match the video.
Aside from producing the actual designs of the thumbnails and art, I also primarily workshopped initial concepts with the creators, looked into channel analytics, and wrote SEO-friendly titles and descriptions in order to improve click-thru-rates, views, and subscriber counts.
In total, many of these videos I helped design and produce have garnered over 15mil+ views, 200mil+ impressions, and 300k+ subscribers gained across all videos and channels worked on.
Below is a sample of my favorite thumbs highlighting some of the different visual styles I have conveyed!
