ALT It’s been quite a journey so far. Here are my Top 12 Thumbnail Designs of 2025. Each one tells its own story — a bit of trial and error, a lot of learning, and gradual progress. This year, I really zeroed in on what makes a thumbnail pop: visual clarity, a sense of story, and how to grab someone’s attention in a split second. I can’t say enough how much I appreciate every chance I’ve had, every project, and all the feedback that’s pushed me to get better. Looking ahead to 2026, I’m pumped to keep going. There’s always more to learn, new ideas to try, and ways to make these designs stand out even more. My goal? Keep getting sharper, bolder, and more engaging with every thumbnail. Thanks to everyone who’s been supporting me so far. Here’s to another year of growth and better designs in 2026.

ALT This artwork was my first creative vision for the competition. I chose not to submit it, as I felt it did not fully align with the overall vibe and direction of the brief. I am sharing it here as my second-vision thumbnail to showcase the concept, design approach, and creative exploration behind the project.
