Alright. So welcome to my YouTube Thumbnail Design thread. I'm Myth, otherwise known as Mythril Guy and today I bring it upon myself to get the art of making thumbnails and make them better. I'm quite pleased with the way I make them know, but I am in no way comfortable with my skills of making them.
Now you are thinking this is a weird thing to start, making thumbnails for YouTube videos and all, but to me it's a way to increase my skills.
At the moment I use MS Paint and Adobe Photoshop CC. They are the most commonly used programs out there. For anyone that's wondering why I would use MS Paint, I use it to enlarge photos, whether or not that it doesn't use transparencies, because that's what Photoshop is for, and I also use it to paste screenshots. It's easier than booting up PS and having to start a new project, pasting the photo, and then saving. Paint all I have to do is open the program, click paste and save. Takes like 30 seconds where as in PS it takes about 1-2 minutes. Saves time.
Now I mainly use PS to make the thumbnails because of it's tools. I use the Image Adjustments and Gaussian Blur the most often with my thumbnails, along with Text and the Game Logo that's a picture I found on Google Images.
I'm here to widen my use of other tools provided in PS and you are here to provide me with the items to do so. I want to create thumbnails for your videos on YouTube, whether you chose to use them or not. I want to show you a few I have made in the past:
The first two are similar because they are in the same series of videos, but the first photo is the newer one. The last photo is small, as I used Google Images to find my thumbnails and it only found a small version.
Leave feedback if you wish on any of my thumbnails that I have created since making this thread.
