I’m following a lesson and brief to create a YouTube Thumbnail. I plan to add “$10k Giveaway” but besides that am I heading in the right direction? [Lesson 79 - $10000 NoTitleAdjusted] Title: Giving away $10,000 to the first stranger I see! The brief: Along the same vein as Mr. Beast’s big givea…

No idea what lesson you’re following. If it’s a lesson plan then it should talk you through all the steps to create it from start to finish. Not really sure what the question is.

I’m just asking is it a good thumbnail? If there’s something I can improve. The lessons are just on color theory, layout and then we’re given a fictional brief to put skills learned into practice to create a thumbnail and this is what I came up with.

Scale this down to the actual size of a Youtube thumbnail on a phone. Does anything in there work visually? Most of the thumbnails I see these days are short clip sections of the actual video.

Didn’t realize that was the whole brief.

I think it does. I kept zooming out to view it on a smaller scale. Since this is fictional I thought making it appear like he was somewhere (in the park) and holding cash to make it seem like it was from the actual video. Did I succeed?

I’m not sure how an actual brief would be…This was just the brief I’m given… Looking into the video and Mr.Beast’s audiences, most of the thumbnails don’t even have words or clips of the video or more like an exaggerated view. Like the video of his: I Gave People $1,000,000 But ONLY 1 Minute To Spe…

I do plan to add “$10k Giveaway!” just wanted to know how the thumbnail looks first. Is that the only thing that’s missing, the title?
