Thumbnail Design Tricks

In this section, I’ll point out some of the more subtle thumbnail tricks I’ve learned over the years.

Trick 1: Gradients Under Text

If you need to put text over a visual element, try putting a black-to-transparent gradient over the element first.

Check out the comparison; you can see how the version without the gradient is much harder to read.

You can also use a soft drop shadow (and sometimes I combine that with a gradient), but I find that a gradient can often be more aesthetically pleasing.

More Thumbnail Design Tips

Thumbnails are like stamps and flags; they are normally viewed at quite a small size. Make sure everything in your thumbnail is clear and easily recognizable.

Don’t mirror your title text in your thumbnail. If the thumbnail is going to contain text, make it complement the title text. Mirroring the text is a missed opportunity.

Don’t use too many words in a thumbnail if you are going to use text. Try to keep it under 5 words; otherwise, things get crowded and people won’t stop and take the time to read your text.

Faces are extremely powerful in thumbnails.

Recognizability + novelty = the winning combo. (Why do you think franchise movies and sequels are so successful? It’s something you’re familiar with, along with an injection of novelty.)

Make many variations of your thumbnail. Your best ideas often won’t come out until you’ve executed on a few crappier ones.
