YouTube Thumbnail Designer for Faceless Channel | Cursed Movies, Urban Legends & Cryptids

About the Project I'm building a long-term faceless YouTube channel focused on cursed movies, urban legends, cryptids, paranormal stories, dark folklore, and unexplained mysteries. I'm looking for a talented YouTube thumbnail designer who understands both visual storytelling and click-through appeal. This is not a general graphic design position. I specifically want someone who understands what makes people stop scrolling and click on a YouTube video while still creating thumbnails that fit a dark, atmospheric, and recognizable channel identity. The ideal designer can create intrigue without overcrowding the image with unnecessary text or visual clutter. This has the potential to become an ongoing role as the channel releases new videos. What You'll Do * Create compelling thumbnails for YouTube videos * Develop a recognizable visual style for the channel * Design thumbnails that create curiosity and encourage clicks * Work from video titles, scripts, and creative direction * Use imagery, composition, lighting, text, and visual contrast effectively * Create multiple concepts or variations when needed * Keep designs clear and readable at small sizes * Maintain a consistent dark, cinematic, and mysterious aesthetic * Collaborate with the channel owner and creative team Make revisions based on feedback What You'll Do * Create compelling thumbnails for YouTube videos * Develop a recognizable visual style for the channel * Design thumbnails that create curiosity and encourage clicks * Work from video titles, scripts, and creative direction * Use imagery, composition, lighting, text, and visual contrast effectively * Create multiple concepts or variations when needed * Keep designs clear and readable at small sizes * Maintain a consistent dark, cinematic, and mysterious aesthetic * Collaborate with the channel owner and creative team * Make revisions based on feedback Channel Topics May Include * Cursed movies * Strange events surrounding famous films * Urban legends * Cryptids * Paranormal stories * Haunted locations * Dark folklore * Unexplained mysteries The Style I'm Looking For The channel will have a dark and cinematic identity.
