YouTube Thumbnail
The Design: A simple "Before vs. After" thumbnail showing channel growth from low views (5K–10K) to huge views (7M–20M).
The Colors: Dark red lighting on the left for low views (-42%), and bright green lighting on the right for explosive viral growth.
The Details: A shocked person in the middle holding two phones with YouTube Studio analytics to create high emotion.
The Result :
More Clicks (Higher CTR): The shocked face and big numbers instantly capture viewer attention.
Clear Story: Viewers instantly see a failure-to-success transformation in a split second.
High Proof: Showing realistic YouTube Studio UI builds strong trust and curiosity to watch the video.

The fractured mirror effect on the faces gives it a shattered stained glass quality that fits "princesa de la luna" better than a straight portrait would. Good use of the black negative space to let those fragments breathe.
New Brand Guidelines delivered.
While it may seem trivial, this asset remains a key component of our final deliverables for every project. We offer a recommended guide for the proper use of the brand, with various layout options permitted within the visual language. This ensures the brand can expand over time with a truly functional visual system.
We always strive to be as concise as the brand allows, establishing the foundation for its effective use. This empowers the client to make informed decisions and implement each brand element in the ideal scenario with optimal adjustments.
"As concise as the brand allows" is the hard part, because the guidelines that get ignored are almost never the thin ones. Curious whether you pair the PDF with a live component library so the document only has to explain the rules and doesn't also have to enforce them - that split has saved me a lot of pages.
Really cool
