This is my portfolio of viral YouTube thumbnails designed for top creators.

In this project, I focused on high-CTR design psychology:

Shocked facial expressions to create curiosity

Bold, high-contrast text (Yellow, Blue, Green)

Money & Reward visuals to increase clicks

My goal is always the same: Turn impressions into VIEWS.

I can design 3 variations for each video to test which thumbnail performs best.

Available for $500/month for 30 thumbnails - Unlimited Revisions.

It’s been a minute since my last post here on Contra.

While my main focus usually lives in photo editing and digital design, I was digging through the archive recently and thought it’d be fun to share a couple of branding projects from the past:

Slide 1: Seart Visuals apparel & merchandise branding (1 year ago)

Slide 2: Choku Ladies Boutique identity and mockups (2 years ago)

Brand identity isn't my everyday lane, but tackling projects like these taught me a lot about visual consistency across different mediums. I’d love to hear your thoughts or see any feedback from fellow designers. Great to connect with the community again.
