I will design documentary and travel youtube thumbnails that get clicks


About this gig
YOUR VIDEO DESERVED BETTER THAN THAT THUMBNAIL.
Days on the edit. Ten minutes on the thumbnail. And the thumbnail is the only part most people ever see.
I design for documentary, travel, wildlife and faceless channels, where you compete with professional productions for the same two seconds of attention.
WHAT YOU GET
Custom design from scratch, never a template
1280 x 720 px, high resolution JPG and PNG
Mobile preview at the size viewers actually see
Pro cutouts, colour grading and compositing
Text readable at the smallest phone size
THE DIFFERENCE
I am a brand identity designer, not only a thumbnail maker. On larger packages I build a repeatable system for your channel, same colours, fonts and layout logic on every video, so your videos are recognisable in the feed before the title is read.
HOW IT WORKS
1 Send your video title, topic and any footage
2 I research what is winning in your niche now
3 You get the design plus a mobile preview
4 We refine until it is right
Source PSD available. Most orders delivered in 24 hours.
Not sure which package fits? Send your channel link and I will tell you honestly what your thumbnails are missing.

FAQ
Do you use templates or AI generated images?
No templates. Every design is built from scratch. Where AI assisted imagery is used, it is always composited, graded and hand finished by me, and I will tell you upfront. Nothing is generated and handed over untouched.
I run a documentary channel. Can you match a specific style?
Yes. Send me two or three thumbnails from channels whose look you want to be in the same league as, and I will build something original in that visual direction rather than copying it.
My channel is faceless. I have no photos of myself.
That is a large part of my work. Faceless channels rely on strong objects, landscapes, typography and composition. I design around what your content actually shows.
What do you need from me to start?
Your video title, the topic in one or two lines, your channel link, and any footage stills or photos you want used. If you have nothing, tell me and I will source suitable visuals.
Will the text be readable on a phone?
Yes. I test every design at mobile size before delivery and send you that preview with your files. Most of your audience sees your thumbnail smaller than a postage stamp, so this is not optional in my process.
How fast can you deliver?
Basic is one day. If you need it sooner message me first to confirm availability.
Can you do thumbnails for every video on my channel?
Yes, and that is where most of my clients end up. Message me for retainer pricing, it works out considerably cheaper than ordering one at a time.
