★★★ Overview ★★★

I had the pleasure of working with Barivure Norbana, the creator behind the popular YouTube channel "Vuleco DIY." Barivure required a custom thumbnail for an upcoming video showcasing a beautifully crafted workdesk. My goal was to create a visually appealing and engaging thumbnail that would attract viewers and highlight the unique aspects of the workdesk design, while staying true to the brand’s aesthetic.

★★★ Project Steps ★★★

Following are the steps included in project

1. Initial Consultation:

The project began with a detailed conversation about the client’s vision for the video thumbnail. Barivure shared the concept of the video, which featured a step-by-step guide on creating a custom workdesk. He also provided insights on the channel's branding, including the color scheme, font choices, and overall style he wanted to maintain for consistency across future thumbnails.

2. Design Brief & Research:

I reviewed several of Barivure’s previous videos to ensure the thumbnail aligned with his channel’s branding. I paid close attention to the visual elements that were working well for his audience, including the typography, color palette, and design composition. I also analyzed other popular DIY channels to identify trends and techniques that would enhance the thumbnail's appeal.

3. Concept Development:

Based on the client's input, I began brainstorming ideas. The custom workdesk needed to be the focal point, and I planned to include close-up shots to highlight the craftsmanship. I proposed a dynamic layout featuring the workdesk in the background, with bold text that clearly conveyed the video's content ("How to Create a Custom Workdesk"). I also suggested incorporating Barivure’s brand colors to ensure consistency.

4. Thumbnail Creation:

I designed the thumbnail using professional design software, carefully adjusting the contrast, saturation, and sharpness to make the workdesk pop. I included an image of Barivure in the foreground to give the thumbnail a personal touch and create a connection with the audience. I added the title text in large, easy-to-read fonts to ensure maximum visibility even in smaller sizes.

5. Client Feedback & Revisions:

After presenting the initial design, Barivure provided feedback on a few minor adjustments he wanted to make, such as tweaking the positioning of the text and adjusting the brightness. I worked closely with him to refine the design until it met his expectations and vision perfectly.

6. Final Delivery:

Once all revisions were made, I delivered the final thumbnail in the appropriate format and resolution for YouTube. I ensured that the file size was optimized for web use without compromising the quality of the image.

★★★ Outcome ★★★

The final custom thumbnail successfully captured the essence of the video and Barivure's unique DIY style. It stood out among other YouTube thumbnails, attracting more clicks and engagement from viewers. Barivure expressed his satisfaction with the final result, and the thumbnail contributed to the success of his video in reaching a wider audience.
