History Channel Visuals & Optimization

I write my own scripts, record the narration, and will supply the final voice-over for each episode. What I need from you is everything visual and publishing-related that turns that raw narration into a polished YouTube video that can actually be found and clicked.

Visual direction
• Every segment should be supported by custom illustrations in a clean, minimalist style. Think simple colour palettes, clear shapes, and just enough detail to keep viewers focused on the historical story rather than distracted by busy art.
• You may work in Illustrator, Procreate, After Effects, or the tool you prefer—as long as the end result is crisp 1080p (or higher) graphics that layer smoothly over my narration. Small motion tweaks, parallax, or subtle camera pans are welcome if they enhance the storytelling without breaking the minimalist feel.

Publishing & growth support
Once the episode is edited, I’d like you to handle the YouTube side as well:
• SEO optimisation of tags, keywords, and playlists to help the video rank for relevant history topics.
• Eye-catching thumbnail creation that matches the minimalist art direction while standing out in the feed.
• Compelling, keyword-rich titles and descriptions written in natural language so viewers (and the algorithm) immediately know what they’ll learn.

Typical flow
1. I send you the final audio track and rough timing notes.
2. You storyboard key moments, confirm the visual approach, then create the full set of minimalist illustrations.
3. You assemble and synchronise the visuals with the audio, export the finished video, and supply a thumbnail, title, description, and suggested tags.
4. With my approval, you upload and schedule the episode on my channel.

Success looks like clear, on-brand visuals that elevate the historical narrative, plus a fully optimised upload ready to attract viewers from day one. If this sounds like your kind of project, let’s discuss a pilot episode and build from there.
