Summary

Hey there! We are building a high-quality sports media channel and are looking for a talented, hard-working and experienced Thumbnail Designer to join our team long-term. We produce deep-dive football documentaries (8-10 minutes) with high emotional tension. Our thumbnails need to tell a dramatic story in split seconds and trigger an immediate psychological urge to click (High CTR). In terms of art style, composition and quality, we take our cue directly from these channels: https://www.youtube.com/@TopBinsFootyy https://www.youtube.com/@TheStartingXI01 https://www.youtube.com/@goat8078 What we expect from you: - Visual Storytelling: You don't just put random players on a background. You know how to create a high-stakes scenario (e.g., "1 VS 11", extreme facial expressions, dramatic lighting) - Mastery of Composition & Text: You understand how to use color contrast (like bold yellows, deep shadows), facial expressions and minimal, high-impact text elements to catch the viewer's eye instantly on mobile devices - Football Knowledge: You must be a passionate football fan who knows the players, the iconic rivalries and the emotional weight behind the stories Please do not apply if you do not have a portfolio or prior experience designing thumbnails specifically for sports channels or YouTube video essays. Looking forward to reviewing your portfolios and working with you! Larry
