We are a well-established YouTube production team looking for talented designers who can understand the theme of each video and create realistic, engaging images that highlight the viewing experience and drive high click-through rates on YouTube.
Your role will be to capture the video’s core theme, select the most relevant visuals, and collage them into a compelling and authentic thumbnail (no AI-generated images). Thumbnails may also require light touch-ups on subject faces to ensure the final design looks polished and professional.
For each project, we generally request three sample thumbnails. From these, we’ll select two to refine further and then upload to the channel for A/B testing.
If this sounds like a good fit for you, please send us a message along with samples of thumbnails you’ve created in the past.
Ideal samples would demonstrate:
- Use of images taken directly from video footage
- Collaging multiple images into a single, cohesive thumbnail
- Photoshop work as needed to enhance quality
Successful candidates will be asked to create a sample thumbnail using our own footage.
When applying, please also include your rate for a sample thumbnail and for regular thumbnail sets (three thumbnails per video).
Please note that emails without 1) sample thumbnails, 2) quote for creating a sample thumbnail, and 3) a quote for creating 3 thumbnail variations will not be responded.
Thank you—we look forward to hearing from you!
