Weekly YouTube Thumbnail Design

I run an educational-tutorials channel and need a dependable designer who can turn my video topics into eye-catching thumbnails that feel professional and sleek rather than playful or overly minimal. Every brief I send you must come back as a finished 1280 × 720 thumbnail within 12 hours so I can schedule uploads on time.

What I’m after
• Five fresh thumbnails each week, incorporating bold, readable text, bright colour accents, and my existing logo/branding assets.
• Consistent visual language from video to video so the channel feed looks unified.
• Source files created in Photoshop or Illustrator (layered and well-named) alongside the final JPG/PNG exports.
• Quick tweaks when needed—I usually know within minutes if a small adjustment is required.

Acceptance criteria
1. The design follows the branding guide I’ll supply and places the logo exactly where specified.
2. Text remains fully legible on mobile preview (I’ll test at 25 % size).
3. Colour palette and overall polish match the “professional and sleek” look—no playful clip-art or heavy drop-shadows.
4. Delivery time per request never exceeds 12 hours.

If you have a streamlined workflow for batching designs or template systems that still allow unique looks, mention it when you apply. Consistency, speed, and a good eye for what stops the scroll are the priority.
