I Have Discovered the magic...of thumbnails

Okay, I don't think I'm done...but how bout this-

I think, if I can be honest, that it looks a little amateur. Something was rubbing me up the wrong way and I figured out what: the whole thing doesn't sit. It's like all these different colours and whatnot jostling for attention.

My tips (take 'em or leave 'em up to you!) would be:

1. Scrap the gradient entirely
2. Make the taco bigger, the left of the thumb looks too empty.
3. If you keep the background orange, keep the text colours simple. Orange is REALLY hard to blend well with other colours and it clashes quite easily
4. If you use a fancy font for your name, keep it simple on the title. It reduces the risk of it looking like a bad advertisement lol.

Yeah I felt that feeling too, thanks for spotting it out! I think I'll make the TEACHERS green make the gradient like red or sommat like that and then make the taco bigger and all the other good stuff you told me :D Thanks!

Yeah I think Frankie is right honestly, I can tell when things rub me the wrong way visually, I have a hard time knowing why. This DID seem a little... underwhelming.
 
Okay I've taken a REAL LIKING to this one so I don't think I'm going to change it too drastically- Ranty Jackson Thumbnail Teachers.jpg[DOUBLEPOST=1366553907,1366553678][/DOUBLEPOST]

If Carrots got you drunk, rabbits would be messed up.

What if water got you drunk but alcohol made you normal 0_o[DOUBLEPOST=1366555714,1366555584][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh yeah I made thumbnails for every single Ranty Jackson *wipes sweat from brow*
Wait I have MORE videos?!
 
do you really want the gradient bg? I would go get rid of it entirely and get a good solid red color. add a white stroke on the taco image to make it stand out. you can put "Teachers" above ranty jackson honestly for it to make more sense. Make Teachers bigger and ranty jackson smaller maybe?

fix the stroke on teachers too. black would be good.
