My Process

From idea to click-worthy.

A simple process designed to turn your video idea into a thumbnail people can't ignore.

Step 01

Understand

You share the video topic, script, rough cut or concept. I first understand what the video is actually trying to communicate.

Project Brief

What are we trying to say?

Research

Finding the strongest angle

Step 02

Strategize

I research the topic, audience and competition to find the strongest visual angle - the idea that creates curiosity before the click.

Step 03

Design

Now the idea becomes a thumbnail. I build the composition, choose the right imagery, typography, colors and visual hierarchy.

FAQ

Let's clear things up.

A few common questions before we start working together.

Yes. The editable PSD/source file can be provided when requested. If you need the source file, just mention it before the project starts so it can be included in the delivery.
My standard turnaround time is within 48 hours. The exact delivery time can vary depending on the complexity of the thumbnail and the requirements of the project.
Revisions are included as long as they stay within the original project scope. I work with your feedback to refine the concept, composition and details until the thumbnail is ready.
No one can honestly guarantee a specific CTR because performance also depends on the topic, title, audience and other factors. I focus on strong visual hierarchy, curiosity and click psychology to give every thumbnail the best possible chance to perform.
Usually, I need your video topic or title along with your script, rough idea or any important references. If you already have brand guidelines, preferred colors or examples you like, you can share those as well.
That's completely fine. Your feedback is part of the process. I'll review what isn't working and refine the design based on your feedback until we reach a direction you're happy with.
