Giovanni Giorgi

A name befitting the experience

"The magier team is truly outstanding – period. In my experience, talent shines when a team not only grasps your vision or problem statement but exceeds your expectations with every iteration. This is precisely what I encountered with magier."

Spencer Stebbins
Founder
The best graphic design partner

"Magier provides a great pricing model and a super user-friendly backend. They've been supporting us for a couple of months now and have never failed to deliver high-quality design projects, sometimes within a very tight schedule. Communication & feedback is easy and efficient."

Yunzhi Tao

The name truly says it all!

"Max and his team were incredibly valuable in supporting us with our rebranding! Magier handled the entire design process — from brand CI and product images to general shop elements like icons, design assets, and overall design concepts. Despite the tight deadline, they went the extra mile to ensure this massive project was completed on time with outstanding results. We’re so grateful and would choose magier for any design project in the future – the name truly says it all!"

Medea Lorenzen
Founder & CEO
Magier is an amazing on-demand design studio

"We are so thankful we found magier! They have exceeded every expectation and deliver quality designs, quickly. Initially, we were skeptical that an on-demand graphic design company could meet the strict design requirements we had. But we gave them a chance and they crushed it! Their online project management portal is straightforward to use and their response time to requests is speedy. But best of all, their design work is fantastic. We use them primarily for mobile app and website design and they constantly exceed our expectations. Max and his team have become an essential part of our business and we love working with them. So if you need a high-quality design team that produces outstanding work through a process that keeps you informed at every step, then you will LOVE working with magier, just like we do."

Great pleasure to work with the magier team!

"What a great pleasure it is to work with Max and the design team at magier!! The team is very talented and customer focussed. From the moment you start working with them, it feels like a partner who is focussed at solving your problems. They work and deliverables were always a step ahead and two notch higher than what we expected. They were eager to do multiple iterations for us, never shying away for given us multiple design options to work with and sharing their past learning to help us make right decisions. Their support post delivery was fantastic - helping quickly resolve any small issue that came up or in some cases doing some quick design revisions based on user feedback. In summary, if you are looking for a long term partner who keep you first, look no further!"

We really appreciate the team's positive attitude, openness for feedback and sometimes short term work that comes up. The team is always positive, open to receive feedback and working with them is easy! Highly recommended"

Great collaboration with Magier!

"Absolutely recommendable, because we receive all the design files we need very reliably and quickly. This saves us valuable resources internally and frees up capacity elsewhere in the company."

Mark Shif
Head of Marketing
We are so in awe 🤩

"We have a lot of design to-dos that we can't manage ourselves in terms of time and due to a lack of expertise - but also too few to hire a designer. And then magier came along! No matter what kind of design we need, magier helps us out and delivers really cool ideas and realisations in no time at all. We couldn't be happier. We have a "permanent" designer who realises all our briefings. So he knows exactly what we have in mind and what we like. No matter how free our briefing is, we can be sure that something really great will come out of it. Communication is excellent, everyone is super friendly and helpful and we always look forward to the next task. Many thanks to the magier team, you're really great!"

FAQ

FAQ Thumbnail Design

What do I need to consider regarding the thumbnail format?

For thumbnails, here are some things to consider:

Size: Every platform has recommended thumbnail sizes. For example, the recommended size for YouTube thumbnails it's 1280 x 720 pixels, while for Facebook thumbnails is 1200 x 628 pixels.

File format: The recommended file format for thumbnails is JPEG or PNG. It is important to make sure that the file size is not too large, otherwise the page loading may be delayed.

Readability: The thumbnail should be clear and easy to read. Therefore, use a clear font and make sure that the text is easy to read.

Relevance: The thumbnail should reflect the theme of the video or content. So avoid misleading thumbnails that might mislead viewers.

Originality: Try to create an original and unique thumbnail that stands out. A well-designed thumbnail can help capture viewers' interest and make them want to watch the video or explore the content.

Consistency: It's also important to remain consistent in terms of thumbnail design and aesthetics to create a strong brand identity and make content easier to recognize.

What makes a good thumbnail?

A good thumbnail usually has the following features:

1. Eye-catching design: The thumbnail should be eye-catching and appealing to attract viewers' attention.

2. Relevance: The thumbnail should reflect the content of the video and give the viewer an idea of what to expect.

3. Clarity: The thumbnail should be clear and easy to understand so that the viewer immediately recognizes what it is about.

4. Contrast: The thumbnail should have a high contrast to improve readability and make the image stand out.

5.Text: The thumbnail should contain a short, concise text that summarizes the content of the video.

6. Quality: The thumbnail should be created in high quality to ensure a professional and appealing look.

7. Originality: The thumbnail should be unique and stand out from other thumbnails to attract viewers' attention.

What do I have to pay attention to when creating a thumbnail?

You should make sure that your thumbnail matches the web content. It is also intended to encourage interaction. Therefore, you should use meaningful colors and define a face that will be seen on the thumbnail. This allows you to connect with your viewers. Your logo should also be visible to create recognition value.

Why do I need a thumbnail?

Thumbnails are essential for grabbing attention in a crowded digital space. They act as the first impression of your content, whether it’s a video, article, or social media post. A well-designed thumbnail piques curiosity, communicates your message at a glance, and encourages clicks, making it a key driver for engagement and visibility.

Where can I use thumbnails?

Thumbnails can be used in various places to attract attention and interest in a visual way (e.g. YouTube, Blog, your online shop, etc.).

How much does it cost to design a thumbnail?

The cost of designing thumbnails can vary greatly depending on various factors, including the scope of the project, the designer's level of experience, and design requirements. With magier, however, thumbnail design is included in the subscription, so you pay a fixed price for unlimited design requests.
