YouTube Thumbnail Redesign — CTR Focused (Real vs Fake Concept)
This project was a redesign of a money-earning app video thumbnail.
The original thumbnail had too much text and multiple visual elements, which weakens instant readability on mobile screens.
Goal was to make viewers immediately understand the video question: Is the app real or fake?
So I simplified the design and focused on:
• Clear visual hierarchy
• Strong emotion reaction
• High contrast colors
• 2-second readability
The redesign communicates the core curiosity faster, which helps improve click-through rate.
Before
Too much information
Weak focal point
No immediate question hook
Hard to read on mobile
After
One clear message: REAL OR FAKE
Strong pointing reaction
Focus on phone (subject)
Cleaner composition for higher CTR

Random design thought 💭: ornamental metal gates are basically analog pixels.
I’ve been noticing ornamental metal gates and the patterns in them. The repetition and structure started to feel really similar to how we design digitally - grids, modules, pixels.
So for this project I translated traditional metal gate motifs into cross-stitch-style patterns. Basically taking something forged and ornamental and rebuilding it inside a grid.
The final piece is a one-page yearly calendar (with a few color variations), where both the patterns and the type are use cross-stitch forms.
Just a small exploration of how repetition, craft, and constraints show up across mediums - from metalwork to digital design.
What other analog systems feel like “pixels” to you?
