Request My thumbnails are so BAD, need help of creative people!

[Acousticbits]

I have 0 artistic skills... my thumbnails just look terrible haha can anyone help me? I think anything would pretty much be an improvement from what I got.

I'm trying to come up with 2-3 templates I can use for most of my videos... where I can just, change the title of the cover song and keep the rest equal.

I've attached a pic of my thumbnails so you know what I'm talking about.. I know, they are bad lol

Use a bold font with black outline, and get a screenshot of the video and add a little gaussian blur to it, it's a good template I use for vlogs and things of that sort.

You could try GIMP, it's a great alternative to Photoshop. At least that's from what I heard.

If you want a photoshop-esque piece of software use GIMP that deals with bitmaps, or you could use an Illustrator like program called Inkscape that deals with vector images.
