I am the creator behind Futuber 26, a FIFA/EA FC football YouTube channel with 64K+ subscribers, 590+ uploaded videos and over 29M total views. Since starting the channel, I have gained hands-on experience creating YouTube content, designing thumbnails, understanding audience behaviour and learning what makes viewers click on a video. I have designed thumbnails for gaming, football, sports, ranking videos, transfer news, player rating videos, reaction-style content and list-based videos. Through my own channel, I have developed a strong understanding of YouTube branding, title-and-thumbnail packaging, bold visual design, readable text, player-focused layouts and creating thumbnails that stand out in a competitive feed. My experience as a YouTuber helps me design thumbnails not only to look good, but also to attract attention and match the style of the video. I understand the importance of strong colours, clear messaging, emotional faces, recognizable subjects and clean layouts that help videos look more professional and clickable.
