Second thumbnail ever, give any feedback at all please!

[final dome]

Second thumbnail I’ve ever made, I’m kinda split on how the text looks again (in my opinion that seems to be my biggest struggle) but let me know if anything else looks off, thanks!

My first impression is there's a lot on the screen and no consistent coloring. Some possible fixes could be to blur the background so the character is in-front and "Why the Hype" is more present. I know Canva has the blurr options that may help!

As for the message, I see it coming across as a description of "Why is this game (im not familiar with the character but I assume people in game would) so popular?" If that's not the msg/video the thumbnail needs more work

I hope this helps 💚

This is how it turned out after blurring the background a bit, and I will say it makes so much of a change, thank you! (And yes, that was the message I’m trying to convey)

Awesome! You mentioned the text, one thing I always liked is some of the styles you can use with texts. For example here's a thumbnail I did for a video (now I think my thumbnail has a lot of work needed and wasn't perfect but the text I thought was appealing and may solve what you notice with your text)

So what I mean is a style like that or something that can have the words connect and be consistent in sizing? I'm more thinking out loud with your concern in the post

I get what you mean and yea, that definitely looks much better than my text, I'll play around with it for a bit and see if I can get something that looks good.

Awesome! I am by no means an expert, but hope that you get the impact you're looking for!

the rainbow is distracting from the character,

the word HYPE is too thin

the character is too blue and since the background is also blue it blends in too much making it invisible at a glance
