Summary

I'm looking for a YouTube Thumbnail & Packaging Specialist to work with me long-term. I run a growing YouTube channel covering movies, video games, travel, and pop culture. Because my content varies, I need someone who can understand the vision behind each video and turn it into a strong title + thumbnail package. What You'll Do - Develop the thumbnail concept and title together - Create the final thumbnail - Help identify the strongest angle/hook for each video - Make sure the title and thumbnail work together without simply repeating each other - Bring your own creative ideas and challenge my ideas when you see a better opportunity I want to start thinking about the title + thumbnail before the video is made, especially for larger IRL projects, so the packaging can help guide what we capture. I want someone who understands YouTube packaging, CTR, curiosity, storytelling, and what makes someone want to click. Requirements - Proven YouTube thumbnail experience - Strong Photoshop/design skills - Understanding of YouTube titles and packaging - Strong creative instincts - Portfolio of actual YouTube thumbnails - Ability to explain the reasoning behind your designs - Excellent English communication Please Send - Your best YouTube thumbnail examples - Examples showing title + thumbnail together, if available - A short explanation of what makes a great YouTube package I'm looking for someone who can become a creative partner for the channel's overall packaging and creative direction, not just a thumbnail designer.
