I'll be honest, I like the original one leagues better

#

My main reasoning for this is because the one Michlle Khare did feels alot more real and genuine, which for the most part matches her style and vibe. The one you made sure, has very eye-catching elements, and is super optimized like Mrbeast's thumbnail. I do admit they do work for certain types of content and styles, but like I do think they're overused, and they definetely don't make for an interesting thumbnail/connection with the creator.

#

Michelle on the other hand, already as mentioned above definetely feels more real and genuine. Afterall, for the most part her team and her didn't really add alot into probably the original photo or scene they had for the thumbnail, just a few touch ups here and there. At the same time though, it's not de-optimized. They got all the things right. It complements the title very well, and it also evokes emotion. First emotion it evoked for me is curiosity (this is sort of in both of yours though, because its the same scene). The second emotion it evoked for me was connection to the creator (thanks to the almost raw-ness of the thumbnail).

#

Just some things I wanted to point out.

#

@undone junco Btw just so you know, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that the thumbnail is bad or anything. I'm just saying it doesn't fit Michelle at all, nor at least to me is it interesting/particularly note-worthy. I think next time, focus more on what the content is and how you can make a thumbnail that matches the content while also being something that the audience will want.

I guess the main take-away is, just because others are doing it doesn't mean it's the only option/the best option.

#

btw a few spelling mistakes

#

in your website

#

I mean if you've actually worked with them, congrats! If not, and you're trying to trick people at least get the spelling right.

#

btw like I really hate to be the guy who's like "websites" matter, but I mean really, just saying this because if you are legit I want you to do well

piece of advice, make sure your website is at a certain level of quality

Its much less intense/optimized, which fits her style more. Is it a bit more like "in your face" than her older thumbnails, sure. But it's still not as "in your face" than some of the other more optimized thumbnails/its not as optimized/intense as thumbnailninjas thumbnail.

#

At least for me what I said yesterday still stands. A good thumbnail isn't about optimizing every single thing/making all thumbnails into a Mrbeast style thumbnail. A good thumbnail is about conveying what the content wants to convey and doing it also in a way that the audience would appeal too.

Hey @undone junco If you may could you share how did you manage to collaborate with MEGA brands like NETFLIX and NVIDIA despite being a anonymous designer? Cause to my knowledge 90% or their designs are Legally Binded with some level of NDA which I am very familiar with. tho the terms might be different but I don't think they would allow some anonymous designer to share such confidential stuff publicly cause this certainly will harm their Brand image.

#

The big question is how do you even qualify? I see you have some level of designing skills but only 3 years of thumbnail making skills doesn't take you to that level. Heck im doing this for 5 years now where is my Tesla Offer letter 🥲

#

Jokes aside this is a Creators community, this is that moral ethics you shouldn't try scamming others when they are grinding their souls to make their dreams come true
