How to Make a Professional Thumbnail in 4 Quick Steps

This course will cover how you can make a professional looking thumbnail in 4 quick steps using adobe Photoshop & adobe Lightroom. I've also added a short canva tutorial for students that prefer to use that.

By utilizing what you'll learn in this course, you'll be able to create endless professional thumbnails with little to no design experience...in minutes!

I know that when most people try to start learning how to make thumbnails, they’re under the impression they need to master design & master certain software programs. Now, obviously the better you are at those, the better your thumbnails will be.

But what if you don’t want to “master” them right away? What if you just want to get the best looking thumbnail out quickly where you don’t have to invest weeks learning a new software program & all the different features that come with it?

I’ve been there myself & that’s exactly what sparked the inspiration for this course. This Course is for the person that needs to learn how to make professional looking thumbnails for either standalone videos (like YouTube for instance) or course thumbnails quickly.

By the end of this short course, you’ll be able to do that with very minimal training, you’ll be able to replicate it over & over again so you can do it consistently, & you’ll have created your very first professional looking thumbnail.

The version used in this Course is primarily Adobe Photoshop CC 2019. But you can apply the strategy you learn in this Course to any other version Adobe Photoshop....or even canva (a free editing platform online).
