So... I took a photoshop class back in highschool like... what 8 years ago? I don't remember what I'm doing AT ALL!

Can you guys tell me if it's that obvious? I've started changing over my old thumbnails to see if that has any effects on views. I have about 2 dozen different thumbnails maybe 3, but can you tell me what you thinks works, doesn't work, should be different, etc. Constructive critisizm, honesty. I think a few are cheesy, I think a few need to be redone, and etc. But I want to get other peoples incite.
 
They look fine, but Photoshop has changed drastically in the last decade. I don't think it is you not remembering as much as it is basically a different program than the one you learned on. The functions are basically the same, but the interface has been moved around a lot. They are not the best, but your thumbnails look fine to me. Try to make them pop out more by using brighter colors, bolder text, etc.

Hmm. I agree. I think it seems a tad blurry or dull. I might make the text a shaded gray but have a white outline. Thanks. I think I might remove the junk in the corner too, it just seems like clutter. And in the future I want to keep the "on" and the "aaa" closer together, rather than having everything spaced evenly.

Then again I could go neon. Grey on black would be okay, but the more colorful pictures should have an exaggerated color I think

Ya your spacing is a bit off, and the text is kinda hard to read from a distance. People will not spend more than .5 seconds looking at your thumbnail. You should be able to read the whole thing and be enticed to watch the video in that time.
 
They look okay better than some of the other thumbnails on YouTube! The consistency is good! Keep practicing!
 
I have a question about your channel though, do you just put some random video/image with some song and claim that as a video? The songs aren't made by you right? The images and videos don't look like original content either? So what exactly do you do for your videos?
