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