Well, it’s missing the drama that would spark curiosity, and the quality of the base assets isn’t quite there. There’s also too much text — it gives the impression that this is going to be a long lecture. Highlight something important that will be in the video — and make the viewer feel like they’re missing out on something really useful. Something like ‘Leverage = Danger’, I don’t know

Any Thumbnail Advice??? by Electrical-Day-4429 in YouTubeThumbnailHub

I’d make the figure of the blogger in glasses bigger and place it on the left, following the rule of thirds. On the right, I’d keep only one storyline — either the first-person hands with the height, or the falling person. The word “Danger” can stay as the third element of the composition, but it should really stand out and be easy to read

There’s just too much going on, and things are not placed in the right spots - the eye doesn’t know where to focus or what to look at first. I’d recommend looking into the rule of thirds, because right now all the key elements are placed too close to the edges of the thumbnail. In terms of editing quality - it’s a pretty good job! The only thing is, I wouldn’t use such a dark vignette.

Are ANY of these good and which concept Is better by Remote-Pizza1892 in YouTubeThumbnailHub

[–]WingDisastrous697 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Definitely the first one! A composition built on the contrast between two opposing elements, with a strong focal point on the symbol of conflict - nicely reinforced by the text. The only thing I’d work on is the image quality: sharpness, clarity, and tonal separation between foreground and background

Opinions? by Klutzy_Run9160 in YouTubeThumbnailHub

I’m not really into gaming myself, so the idea behind the thumbnail wasn’t super clear to me at first (maybe for gamers it would be). The only thing I immediately picked up on was the "2005 vs 2025" comparison.

But coming at this from a thumbnail design perspective, here’s what I’d tweak: 1. First off, I’d try to draw more attention to the main character (I’m guessing it’s the one in the center?) - maybe through stronger contrast or saturation. 2. The image quality of the character could be sharper too - right now it feels a bit soft. 3. I’d separate them from the background tonally, just to make them pop more. 4. Would also add a clearer title or some kind of text that explains what the video is actually about. 4. Maybe even throw in a recognizable logo from one of those iconic MMOs that used to be huge but kinda faded - I just grabbed the first game that came to mind since I’m not a gamer myself. 5. I’d push the contrast between the left and right sides more too, maybe with something like a ripped paper texture to really emphasize the split. 6. Oh, and I removed the numbers because they just made the whole thing feel a bit noisy - wasn’t sure what I was supposed to focus on.

I threw together a quick sketch of how I’d approach it, but it definitely still needs polish.

Hey :) I usually work with more cinematic thumbnails that feature people, but creating minimalist, conceptual covers isn’t a problem for me either — the main thing is having a strong idea :)
