Am I Doing It Wrong?...

Yes, using Photoshop would be great for thumbnails. If you could somehow get a nice screenshot from your video and use text with great font, color, and size to make it pop, it should be nice. I went ahead and subscribed because I'm looking forward to more content from you. Will spread the word!

Thank you so much for subscribing! I will for sure try to make my thumbnails in the way you described, sadly, photoshop isnt an option for me at the moment but is my top priority to get! thanks again

Thank you for the feedback! I am aware that the art side of my channel needs great improvement, I've only ever made a few thumbnails so am getting used to it and will eventually use photoshop to make them more professional. I think I may need to find someone to create a banner and maybe an avatar though as I am not the best at that sort of thing... I will update my descriptions and will, from now on, make them more descriptive of the content. I appreciate the help!

Hey Xeros,

I know it may seem intimidating to create all the art for your channel, however I can tell you that it is a great learning experience and a lot of fun when you get into it. At the start I also had not clue how to do it, never done anything similar to it, I do not even draw much normally. So, give it a try and with some patience, a few tutorials and a couple of trial you can make your own art, at least for the beginning BTW, you do not need to use photoshop, other programs like Paint.NET and GIMP can do just as good of a job in 90% of cases and they will look just as professional, I can tell you this because I use both and there in most cases photoshop does not offer too much more that I could not do without it. Just make sure you get the right templates for the banner from YouTube and watch a few totorials. You can do it!!

You may have just saved me quite a few quid mate! I'll definately try out those programs and see what comes of it. Hopefully I can end up creating something I'm happy with and get better at the art side of things along the way! Thanks for the help bud
