High-CTR Documentary Thumbnails

I need a creative thumbnail designer who can give my educational, documentary-style videos the same instant-click appeal you see on StudyIQ IAS and Saqlain Khan’s channels. Each thumbnail must rely on strong, cinematic visuals first, with bold supporting text only where it truly adds punch. The look should stay clean and professional, built for mobile and desktop feeds alike, and delivered quickly so I can keep my publishing schedule on track.

Please only reply if you can show a portfolio or recent samples that prove you already know how to push click-through rates upward in the documentary or news niche. Mention any experience with Photoshop or equivalent tools, your typical turnaround time, and how many drafts you include—speed matters to me almost as much as quality.

Deliverables
• 1 ready-to-upload thumbnail per assignment (16:9, 1280 × 720 px or higher)
• Source file with editable layers

I’m ready to start as soon as I find the right style fit. Drop your best work and a brief note on your process, and let’s make these videos stand out.
