MEATCANYON THUMBNAIL - CONCEPT ART AND ALT VERSIONS (Patreon)

When making a video with MeatCanyon, you really want to nail the thumbnail. I'm terrible at graphic design, so thankfully, I have my thumbnail girl Cheyenne to take over and help me execute my vision. We went through a ton of different designs during the process of getting this done, so I figured I'd show you guys the different variations we had, starting with the concept sketches she sent me, and the alternate design we almost went with!

In the end, you can tell my number one priority was making sure our faces were front and center, and not cluttered with any extra images. I also wanted to make sure the thumbnail had text in it because, unfortunately, it's hard to get peoples' attention on youtube these days. In my opinion, text helps it be more eye catching and might get people to stop and actually read what they're scrolling past if they're not looking at the titles already.

Let me know if this sort of thing is interesting to you guys/if you'd like more posts that show behind the scenes stuff like this, and if you'd like to tell my thumbnail artist how good of a job she did, send her a tweet over at @cheyedewolf.

More soon. Luv u!
