Would this one get at least 50% CTR though be honest chat

#

contrast between background and foreground chars is bad

#

green/yellow background against green/yellow foreground

#

i suppose you want the chars top pop out more

bold maple Dec 9, 2024, 10:33 AM

#

You mean like the background isnt a good match for the characters colors? 😅

spice umbra Dec 9, 2024, 10:33 AM

#

yeah

bold maple Dec 9, 2024, 10:33 AM

#

ahhh

#

I wasnt thinking too hard about it I just wanted to slap something together to see if I could make any sort of thumbnail lol

#

since ive never touched photoshop or the software I used which is Affinity photo 2

#

and ofc i i would nto click it because i dont know pikcachu or ben, but content wise its just a proof of concept anyways right?

#

the text is not clear enough either

bold maple Dec 9, 2024, 10:34 AM

#

yeah my actual thumbnails wouldnt be laid out this way at all

#

it would be much more simpler

#

probably wouldnt need many effects at all id imagine

bold maple Dec 9, 2024, 10:34 AM

#

spice umbra the text is not clear enough either

how should it be changed?

#

you'd want it to pop out more?

#

or the readability ig

spice umbra Dec 9, 2024, 10:35 AM

#

dont like the font really, but maybe my personal preference

#

also

#

you have too much real estate not used

bold maple Dec 9, 2024, 10:35 AM

#

you want me to use MORE real estate? 😂

spice umbra Dec 9, 2024, 10:35 AM

#

you have that thing at the right end and ben at the left and basically mostly background

bold maple Dec 9, 2024, 10:35 AM

#

well to be fair the video I followed he uses almost all of the real estate

spice umbra Dec 9, 2024, 10:36 AM

#

pickuchai needs to be moved up

#

hes like peeking over the video corner

bold maple Dec 9, 2024, 10:36 AM

#

yeah cause hes short

spice umbra Dec 9, 2024, 10:36 AM

#

ok

#

i guess im too old lol

west drum Dec 9, 2024, 10:36 AM

#

Oh my gosh it is Ben related

bold maple Dec 9, 2024, 10:36 AM

#

I'll come back with another thumbnail tomorrow of what im actually trying to go for

#

and you can help me if you're up for it 😂

west drum Dec 9, 2024, 10:38 AM

#

The green outline looks tacky
Elements too small
Too many elements(?)
Pikachu is going to be covered by the video timestamp
The black exclamation mark is barely visible
The background is irrelevant

The only thing this communicates is that Ben 10 will fight/compete/be compared to pikachu, but not how or where or anything that provides much intrigue

#

(Sorry for the lack of warning. My feedback is pretty damn blunt and with dot points it's even worse)

bold maple Dec 9, 2024, 10:39 AM

#

Lol its all g

#

all good points

#

I was just trying to make something quickly to say ive practiced asap and show yall

#

I wasn't looking for feedback feedback but its good to know what you two see

#

since I wouldnt have a single clue as to what to point out

#

thats why I debated just sending the image in the #video-creators chat instead of the feedback channel 😅
