#

tell me how i can improve it

lost dawn Sep 23, 2023, 4:15 PM

#

i like this! i would just say maybe bring the text a lil more down?

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 4:29 PM

#

alright

vague blade Sep 23, 2023, 6:39 PM

#

Are you using photoshop?

#

Idea for your tumbnail! ill send something to you in about 30 min

vague blade Sep 23, 2023, 7:02 PM

#

whiios

#

whoops

#

#

What do you think of the quick remix?

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 7:16 PM

#

looks nice

vague blade Sep 23, 2023, 7:23 PM

#

i noticed people like to put on the left side like a photo thats poping out, thats why I added bruz, I think it adds a bit more pop, I think your letters were cool, but alot of dark and quiet background, if im on my phone, screen is already small, so I wanted something to pop, but thats just my idea on how i would remix it

idk i feel like the orc is a bit random tho

vague blade Sep 23, 2023, 8:49 PM

#

Its the first orc you recruit

#

its the first capitan of the game

#

So he has a goal of capturing every orc, and it starts with that guy

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 8:50 PM

#

oh you thinking of the second game

#

yea

#

sorry you had no way of know that

#

my bad

vague blade Sep 23, 2023, 8:50 PM

#

Oh this was 1st gaem

#

game?

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 8:50 PM

#

yea

#

sorry

vague blade Sep 23, 2023, 8:50 PM

#

oooo

#

that makes sense

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 8:51 PM

#

still i like thumbnails better with less stuff

#

it's better for people on phones

vague blade Sep 23, 2023, 8:51 PM

#

Yeah true, Mines just a re-invision, my own style type of thing haha

#

I think you can make the letters bolder though, and maybe have a kick

#

I think with shadow of mordor, its a bit of a grey and dark theme, you could contrast that with a cool outerglow

#

Maybe make a Red-VS Blue contrast, with your words

#

beause LOTR has alot of red vs blue, good vs evil undertones

#

Maybe do letters in LOTR ring format?

#

nah, actually, would look too small

#

IDK though haha, some ideas

idle epoch Sep 23, 2023, 9:40 PM

#

I think having something be the central focus of the thumbnail and fill up most of it is for the best. Too many things drawing your eyes away makes it hard for people's gaze to lock onto it and understand what's going on

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 9:41 PM

#

idle epoch I think having something be the central focus of the thumbnail and fill up most ...

alright

#

im just going to put the text in the center i guess

idle epoch Sep 23, 2023, 9:41 PM

#

Well the text in the first one is easier to read

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 9:42 PM

#

idle epoch Well the text in the first one is easier to read

the first one is mine

#

the other one was a suggestion

idle epoch Sep 23, 2023, 9:42 PM

#

ah I see

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 9:42 PM

#

how does the first one look

idle epoch Sep 23, 2023, 9:43 PM

#

I think it's good, but I'd move the text closer to the guy so you can take it all in at once

#

if that makes sense

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 9:43 PM

#

alright

idle epoch Sep 23, 2023, 9:43 PM

#

also what will the title be?

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 9:44 PM

#

i have no idea

idle epoch Sep 23, 2023, 9:44 PM

#

...

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 9:44 PM

#

what would be a good idea for one

#

well i have some what of a idea

idle epoch Sep 23, 2023, 9:44 PM

#

i have no idea about what the video is

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 9:45 PM

#

ok would "branding ever orc in shadow of mordor" be good

idle epoch Sep 23, 2023, 9:45 PM

#

The issue is the thumbnail becomes redundant

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 9:46 PM

#

ok

#

wait

#

"making a army of orcs in shadow of mordor "

#

how about that

idle epoch Sep 23, 2023, 9:47 PM

#

That could work

#

Is there a limit of how many you can brand?

#

Or like a set list?

#

As in is this like a challenge video?

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 9:48 PM

#

you can brand all of the captains/warchief's in the game

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 9:48 PM

#

idle epoch As in is this like a challenge video?

not really it's just me branding all of the captains/warchief's as i make jokes about stuff that happened as i was trying to do it

idle epoch Sep 23, 2023, 9:50 PM

#

hmm

#

I guess the followup is how does this differentiate you from other shadow of mordor videos?

#

If it's just something apart of the normal gameplay loop

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 9:51 PM

#

idle epoch I guess the followup is how does this differentiate you from other shadow of mor...

most don't really use the branding mechanic

#

o

#

wait

#

i read that wrong

#

i have never done a shadow of mordor video

#

in fact this is for my first video on the channel

idle epoch Sep 23, 2023, 9:53 PM

#

no i meant other ppl's videos

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 9:53 PM

#

o

idle epoch Sep 23, 2023, 9:53 PM

#

Have you already recorded?

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 9:53 PM

#

yea i have no seen other people really do this

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 9:53 PM

#

idle epoch Have you already recorded?

yep

idle epoch Sep 23, 2023, 9:53 PM

#

Even so, you could try to spin it a different way

#

such as "I used this underrated mechanic to dominate in shadow of mordor"

#

that might be too long but

#

"This is why branding is cracked"

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 9:55 PM

#

idle epoch "This is why branding is cracked"

sounds like something a clickbait youtuber would say

#

idk

idle epoch Sep 23, 2023, 9:55 PM

#

It's only clickbait if you don't deliver

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 9:55 PM

#

branding is kind of ass tho

idle epoch Sep 23, 2023, 9:55 PM

#

I have the same issue where I don't want to clickbait ppl

#

well XD

#

You could try the opposite

#

"I tried brand only in shadow of mordor, it sucked"

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 9:56 PM

#

ok wait

#

nvm

idle epoch Sep 23, 2023, 9:57 PM

#

the issue with waiting to do title and thumbnail last is that you can't make it lign up with your content easily

#

if you do them first/have an idea in mind, you can make them sync up

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 9:57 PM

#

will do next time

idle epoch Sep 23, 2023, 9:57 PM

#

and clickbait w/o clickbaiting

#

I'd go with your idea then and see how it does

#

or

idle epoch Sep 23, 2023, 9:57 PM

#

idle epoch "This is why branding is cracked"

😛

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 9:58 PM

#

that title reminds me to much of fortnite

#

lmao

idle epoch Sep 23, 2023, 9:58 PM

#

"Branding is still garbage"

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 9:58 PM

#

idk

#

i will see

#

ig

idle epoch Sep 23, 2023, 9:58 PM

#

good luck

#

Or hell

#

"I branded every Orc, here's what happened"

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 9:58 PM

#

might do that

idle epoch Sep 23, 2023, 9:59 PM

#

and in the thumbnail

#

it says shadow of mordor

long reef Sep 23, 2023, 10:00 PM

#

alright
