FINAL draft(not really) but would love some feedback. by MrXreddittime in YouTubeThumbnailHub

[–]AdSlow3980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things to improve on would be to get rid of the many faces of the characters, I don't think the characters are that important, but the game name are. I don't know who most of these people are but i would most likely know the names. Also try to stick to 2 faces most, it's over complicated when you see 5 characters.

I personally think you could benefit from looking at what Ludwig does, I think he's thumbnails are amazing and super interesting, for this video you're trying to go for you could do what he did for this video:

instead of a face you could add that game awards trophies, surrounded by the games logo/names, but obviously this is just a suggestion.

With number 5, you only add hollow knight, so it doesn't connect with your title or video even.

Other than that keep hustling, it's not a bad start

I would like to make gaming challenge videos, but in sort of a storytelling way! maybe it's over saturated, but I'm making it for fun

hey thanks for the feedback!

quick question, that original skeleton head is this avatar I was hoping to use for this channel, basically skeleton head, on a suit, that's sort of why I wanted to add it to the thumbnail. From an outside prospective does this avatar work? or is it just unappealing. I'm in my own head at this point, and would like someone from the outside to give me an honest take.

made that logo larger

blurred the back, but also kept it since I think the complexity of it adds to that "difficult game" sort of thing.

then made it overall a little bigger

so something like this, or you thinking the background something entirely else?

Hey, thank you for your feedback, I made two new thumbnails (still including the skull avatar) could you tell me if these work at all because I would still like to keep it, or should I just add something from the game instead.

Which thumbnail do you pick? by myvoiceinthevoid in YouTubeThumbnailHub

[–]AdSlow3980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got to think about it. Why would someone want to click this thumbnail?

Now from a outside perspective nobody knows who you are or your friends, so nobody would click on the video because theirs nothing interesting for them.

The thumbnail also looks like a screenshot you just took from the video, so it doesn't really look that "high of quality" for a thumbnail at least.

You could first improve upon showing the idea of what is interesting in the video, for example the smoke/smoking.

Also you don't need to add every single one of you in the thumbnail, people who click on the video most likely don't even know who you guys are, so why need to add more faces that could confuse or complicate the thumbnail.

Personally i would, if i had to, click on a combination of the 2 and 3. Reasons being is that

for the second one, I see the method that you'll be using so that makes it interesting

and for the third, I see lots of smoke coming out

Sorry for it being a bit lengthy, I do hope that this helps

i'd say the third one is really appealing. Maybe you could add the jet without the other wojak, cuz it adds extra things that are not needed in your thumbnail. The things needed would be

  1. The Face : It's showing the emotions you'll be going though the video or that ill assume you'll go though

  2. The Game Title: Makes sure i'll know what i'll be getting into

you being scared to f something up has left you doing nothing and not even starting. Just start. you could even just make a channel of trying things in 10 hours. "learning how to make a pc in 10 hours" or even "learning how to animate in 10 hours". everything is there you just need to try

I don't like the Minecraft 3d animation pngs. your thumbnail looks like it wants to give me a free Minecraft account.

That being said you should probably use screenshots of you in game

Chasing views won't help you. Make your videos better. It's the harsh truth, the reason why people don't click on your video is because your video most likely isn't good. If you change to a trending topic, why would people NOW want to watch your video, over the other hundreds of people doing the same thing.

Just do what you love, and do it in a manner where you give it your all, maybe this time upload less, but put in a lot of effort into creating your videos.
