About this gig

Looking for high-CTR horror or true crime thumbnails that make people stop scrolling right away? A good video really needs this unsettling visual hook, and YES! I specialize in making creepy thumbnails that fit analog horror, creepypastas, true crime documentaries, psychological horror, and liminal spaces. I try to build a dark, gripping vibe that grabs attention on their home feeds, like instantly.


My design process leans into a few key psychological triggers to help maximize clicks. I rearrange assets, so you get that uncanny valley facial distortion, then I layer in authentic low-fi VHS overlays plus CRT scan line textures. After that I push a dark atmospheric color grade with heavy shadow work, so it feels kinda wrong, in a good way. And to make sure the thumbnail holds up on all devices, I use bold high-contrast typography with deep shadows that stay 100% readable even when its small on mobile.


Also, I'm an enthusiastic graphic designer who really wants to grow my professional portfolio and get real hands-on experience, so I'm all in on working incredibly hard for your project.
