Creating vivid educational thumbnails for science YouTube channel for kids
Story:
In my freshman year, I took Digital Art & Design and learned the basics of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. The following year, I redesigned thumbnails for MakerFiesta, my mom’s YouTube channel. I redesigned the thumbnails to effectively communicate the specific topic of the video.

Reflection:
Once I replaced the thumbnails, the videos gained exponential popularity and regularly achieved 10K+ videos compared to the 500 views they had with the original thumbnails. This project shown me how graphics communicated trust and credibility and how they can draw attention.
