YouTube Thumbnail Design - Art Documentary Series
I designed this cinematic thumbnail for an art history YouTube channel. The concept is based on Van Gogh's Starry Night (Public Domain).
Focus was on storytelling, minimal modern typography, and a mysterious mood to increase curiosity and CTR.
Niche: Art, History, Documentary, Education
Tools: Photoshop, Canva, Typography Design
This is an original concept created by me for portfolio.

Plastic soup 02 – New artwork.
Two days ago I posted an artwork, but after a few hours I removed it. I was looking at it and thought, no, this isn’t it yet. It felt too flat, too chaotic, and a few things just weren’t looking right for me.
Sometimes it’s a frustrating process to translate your ideas into an artwork, so I decided to just post it.
But yesterday I started to rework the artwork, and today some finetuning and now it’s in a place I’m happy with.
A fresh look can make all the difference.
