# wraith chasm Created a Thumbnail for my next video, wanted to know what you think about it.

personally,
i think it looks great, with not a lot going on, it gets the point across.
i'm curious, do you have an idea for the title already?

the left side (the "common" one):

  • i think blurring the background behind the diamond, or darkening it may help the diamond pop more.
  • although it isn't bad, it feels like it kind of blends in the background a bit. maybe adding some things around the diamond could also make it appear more different from the background.
  • anything that could separate the background cliffs and foreground diamond a bit more.

the right side (the "rare" one):

  • maybe adding arrows, or question marks for mystery. and to guide the viewer's attention to the "rare" item which would supposedly be revealed by watching the video
  • i think adding some kind of emotion through a reaction is also a possible option (like this: https://i.imgur.com/rzpiWeb.png)
  • another user here (sorry i can't credit, i forgot who) mentioned you can also use https://thumbsup.tv/. it is very useful when previewing your thumbnail at different sizes it may appear on sites

feel free to let me know what you think too.

I am really thankful for your feedback, highlighting the diamond is actually a really good idea!

Well, I think your thumbnail is really good; good contrasts, emotions, text starting on the left side of the thumbnail. The colors are quite well, there is a good contrast. I would definitely click on that video if I was interested in the game it is about!

What's missing for me is a "cliffhanger", if I look at the thumbnail I know that you are opening something 100x but it doesn't really make me want to watch the video. Maybe you could place a really rare item in your thumbnail, that you can get out of those 100 chests (I don't know which game this is about, haha).
