**YouTube Thumbnail Designer – Automotive Comparison | Two-Version Deliverable** --- **About Us** We are an automotive media publisher producing editorial video content for YouTube. We are looking for a skilled graphic designer to create a YouTube thumbnail in two versions for an upcoming car comparison video. --- **Project Overview** We need two versions of the same thumbnail, both based on a reference image I will share privately with the selected designer. The composition features multiple car cutouts arranged in a ranked layout, overlaid on a background image, with corresponding data numbers displayed alongside each vehicle. --- **What I Will Provide (to the selected candidate only)** - Reference thumbnail image - Background photo - Link to all car cutouts (pre-extracted, no background) - Link to the ranking table with the correct order and data values for each car - Our branded logo/watermark with placement guidelines --- **What the Thumbnail Needs to Include** 1. **Layout** – 6 to 7 cars arranged in a stacked/ranked composition following the reference, each paired with its corresponding number from the ranking table. 2. **Version 1 – Range** – Each car is accompanied by its range value followed by the unit **"km"** (e.g. *487 km*). 3. **Version 2 – Efficiency** – Each car is accompanied by its efficiency value as a number only, no unit label. 4. **Logo/watermark** – Applied according to the template provided. --- **Deliverables** - 2× final YouTube thumbnails (1280×720 px, RGB) - Source files (PSD or equivalent) with organized, labeled layers for both versions --- **Timeline** Please state your availability and estimated turnaround time in your proposal. --- **Ideal Candidate** - Proficient in Photoshop or equivalent professional tools - Experience with YouTube thumbnail design, ideally in automotive or tech content - Ability to follow a visual reference closely while maintaining clean, high-quality output - Reliable and communicative --- **Long-Term Collaboration Opportunity** This is part of an ongoing production pipeline. We publish automotive content on YouTube consistently and regularly need thumbnail work. For the right designer, this is an opportunity to become our go-to creative partner. If your work is a strong fit, we will be happy to discuss a continuing collaboration. --- **To Apply** Please share 2–3 portfolio samples relevant to this project — thumbnail design, photo compositing, or automotive/tech editorial work. All project materials (reference, cutouts, data, background, logo) will be shared exclusively with the selected candidate.
