Thumbnail Design
A collection of YouTube thumbnail designs across personal stories, finance, lifestyle, and commentary. Each image brings the main idea into focus through expressive portraits, readable typography, and a clear visual hierarchy. The aim is to make the subject easy to understand at a glance while leaving room for curiosity.
Creative Direction
The visual treatment changes with the story: bold contrast for direct messages, quieter portraits for reflective topics, and illustration for a simple comparison. Composition, image treatment, and text work together to give each video a distinct entry point.
