Think about the look you want for your project. Do you like colorful or simple designs? Knowing your style helps the designer create a thumbnail you love.
What is your project's timeline?
Decide when you need the thumbnail finished. Some designs take longer than others. A clear deadline helps freelancers manage their time effectively.
What are your project's specific needs or instructions?
Write down what you need in the thumbnail. Include colors, words, and any special elements. Giving clear instructions makes sure the designer gets it right.
How will you know if you're happy with the design?
Think about what success looks like for your thumbnail. Is it when it gets lots of clicks, or when it looks a certain way? Knowing this helps the freelancer aim for the right goal.
What file formats do you need the thumbnail in?
Different platforms need different file types like JPEG or PNG. Know which one you need so the designer can send the right file.
Do you have any inspirations or examples?
Find pictures or designs you like online. Show them to your designer. It helps them see what you like and makes the design process smoother.
What is the primary purpose of the thumbnail?
Decide what you want the thumbnail to do. Should it be eye-catching to get clicks or just match your brand? This helps the designer focus on what’s important.
Who is your target audience?
Think about who you want to see your thumbnail. Is it kids, teenagers, or adults? Different designs work for different audiences.
Are there any color preferences or branding guidelines?
Tell the designer if your brand uses special colors or shapes. Keeping things consistent makes your brand look strong and recognizable.
Do you need any revisions or changes after the first design?
Decide if you want to see a draft before the final design. Sometimes small changes can make a big difference. Let your designer know if you're open to adjustments.
