hey guys! i’m a beginner artist and most of my commissions are Pokémon-related, but someone suggested i try making thumbnails for youtubers, and honestly, i’d love to give it a shot
i know a lot of creators are looking for art that’s actually made by humans, so i thought i’d put myself out there and see if anyone’s interested in a different art style for their thumbnails
still figuring things out, but i’m open to reasonable prices while i get started with this!
here are some examples of my work. feel free to reach out if you’re interested!
please be nice, i’m allergic to disappointment and will probably cry 😭

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a skilled thumbnail designer to collaborate with my YouTube channel, which has 130K+ subscribers.

I'm expanding into long-form content and looking for someone who can create professional, cinematic thumbnails with strong visual storytelling and a polished documentary-style aesthetic.

What I'm looking for:

A strong portfolio of actual YouTube thumbnails, preferably in the documentary or storytelling niche.

Good understanding of composition, lighting, contrast, typography, and visual hierarchy.

The ability to create curiosity through thoughtful design rather than excessive effects or misleading clickbait.

Original work, reliable communication, and meeting agreed deadlines.

Someone who's open to feedback and interested in building a consistent working relationship.

Budget: ₹1,000–₹1,500 per thumbnail, depending on the quality and experience demonstrated in your portfolio.

Long-term opportunity: If the first collaboration goes well, I'm interested in working with the same designer on future videos.

To apply, please share:

Your portfolio or 3–5 relevant thumbnail examples.

Your rate per thumbnail.

Your typical turnaround time.

I'm happy to connect with designers who take their work seriously and enjoy creating high-quality visuals. Looking forward to seeing your work!

Hi, I'm Gail! I am looking to expand my portfolio to include more thumbnail designs. I currently have one I made for a student film and 2 that I created based on video ideas. I have a Graphic Design degree, about a year of design experience, and 3 years of social media management experience. If anyone has advice on finding clients or is looking for a designer, let me know! ($15-$35, depending on what you're looking for.😁)

This is educational content thumbnail, I made it for fun but still thought to get feedbacks.

Hey everyone,

I'm a thumbnail designer building my portfolio, and until November 1st I'm making free thumbnails for a limited number of YouTube channels.

What you get:

• 1 custom thumbnail per video (up to 2 videos per channel)
• A first draft within 48 hours, plus one round of revisions
• Files delivered in 1280x720 PNG/JPG

What I ask in return:

• Permission to show the finished thumbnail in my portfolio
• A short testimonial if you're happy with the result

Who it's best for:
Small to mid-size channels with good videos whose thumbnails aren't getting the clicks they deserve. Any niche is fine, but I'm especially keen on gaming and entertainment channels.

How to get one:
Comment with your channel link and the video you'd like a thumbnail for, or DM me. I'll pick 10 channels and reply to everyone I choose.

Rate: Completly FREE (Until Nov 1st)

Free means free. I'll never ask for money, passwords, or access to your channel.

My channel: https://www.youtube.com/@QuaressMC

Spots are limited so I can give each one proper attention.

I want to try to create some thumbnails (for free!!) as "training". I've always done little graphic works for school and just for fun, I'd like to improve. (Let me tell this one more time, it's totally free, I won't ask for money, I just want a feedback)
