Minimalist Social Media Thumbnail Design

I need a set of clean, minimalist thumbnails that will stand out on my social-media feeds. Each thumbnail should combine a striking hero image with concise, easy-to-read text; no clutter, bold drop shadows or busy backgrounds—just modern, breathable layouts that feel premium on mobile and desktop alike.

You are free to source or create the imagery, as long as it is license-cleared and pairs harmoniously with the short copy I’ll provide for each post. Colour palettes should stay muted or monochrome, letting the message do the talking while still catching the scroll.

Final deliverables:
• Editable layered files (PSD or Figma preferred)
• Optimised PNG/JPEG exports at 1:1 and 4:5 ratios
• Consistent margin and type scale across all thumbnails

I’ll start by sending the first batch of five concepts; please return initial drafts within three days so we can iterate quickly.
