Transcripts

1. Introduction with class: In this class, we are going to create thumbnails that people simply must click on. Hello there, My name is al-Din and I will teach you how to create amazing thumbnails in Photoshop. We will create thumbnails for different topics so everyone can find something for themselves. The most important thing about thumbnails is to get the attention of people and to make them want to click on that. And that's exactly what we are going to learn here. Learning that will bring Gus much more views or even clients, our job. So prepare yourself and let's start this journey together. I really hope to see you inside this glass where I will share with you my tips and tricks about this business. 2. Project sizes and where to get assets for work: In this video, we are going to explain couple different things that are unnecessary for your YouTube thumbnails to look amazing. One of them is resolution of your document. When you creating new document in Photoshop, make sure to choose this resolution. So 1,280 pixels by 720 pixels width resolution, 72 pixels per inch. So that is the best settings for YouTube thumbnails and your documents. Your image at the end result needs to be less than 2 mb. Because this, because of that, those settings are the best one. So make sure to implement that when you create your work. The second thing is to find right, sources for your images, for your work. If you don't want to put, it really depends on which niche you are. And if you don't want to put your own images, you can find them online and use them for free. So let me bring my Google Home yet from up here at the Pixabay, you can find almost any image that you need. So those images are free for commercial use. That's why we can use them. As you can see, all content on Pixabay can be used for free, for commercial and non-commercial use across print and digital. And that's it. That because of that, we can use those images free. And also you can go up here and it's the same thing. That's it about your images. You can use those images for background. You can, I don't know, combined couple of different images, objects. It really depends on the things that you need. And the last thing that you need is fonts for commercial use that are free. That you can. You need to go on this website. And after you go up here, all of those fonts, some of those fonts are not free for commercial use. So how you will find free for commercial use? Fonts go up here at the end and go from up here, Show Font categories, and go up here to special free fonts for commercial use. So now all of those fonts are free to download and install and use them. They are all free for commercial use. That we can find that here. This one is free for commercial use. Later on when you install that font, you can use it for your own work. And when it comes to your thumbnails, the point of thumbnails is to present what is your radio about? So I'm not a YouTube expert, but when it comes to thumbnails, you need to tell people what they are going to see inside your video. And that's why you need to know a couple of things about that. And you need to show people what's inside your video, what you are going to talk about or what you are going to show them and present that in the best way on your thumbnail through your thumbnails. So that's it. About that couple little advices. I think this could really help you improve your work. So make sure to use good-quality images and to create with this resolution. Cia. In the next video, we are where we are going to start with creating our thumbnails. See you there. 3. Fortnite Thumbnail: Hi everyone and welcome. In this video, we are going to create gaming thumbnail for Fortnite game. So we will use a couple different images for that. This would be our background, this would be the main character. And those are stuff that we are going to add up here. So let's get started. This is our space that we have to work with. What I want to do first is I want to add this up here, just drag and drop it. Control T or Command D, excuse me. I, I used to use windows a lot, BC, and that's why I always swap those two buttons. Sorry if I do that often, I don't do it on purpose. And now what we need to do here, we need to add, we need to add a blur. So we are going to gauge Ambler and we are going to do something like this. Okay? Let's just say four pixels is enough. Great. And now on top of that, we are going to add a gradient. And I want to make this black and white. So how we are going to do that? We're just going to do something like this. And that's it. That's something that I want to add. Now, let's go to layer two and do something like this. And we can go change to multiply. And I want to reduce the opacity of this one to around, let's see, 50. Something like this is. Okay, Great. Now let's go continue. Let's go add our character. So this is the start of, I think, great. And I will put here at the top. Just like that. Make him smaller. And that's it. Now we need to add something like this. I will go on a new layer and move this layer below my object. And I want to bring my brush, and I want to make this hardness to zero and increase our brush size a lot. And make my foreground color is white. And I want to do something like this on a layer below to make him low, something like that. This is too much. This is also too much. Make that smaller. Great. This is nice. And now, now let's go add the text. I will use this font for my text and I want to type something like insane. 17, kill, victory, something like that. Okay. I will I want to make this something like 200. And I want to increase. This is too much. Let's go with one AD. And I want to stretch it just a bit rate. And for this one, I need to change this part to something like something like this. Okay? And I will do the same thing with victory rate. And we need to go to Blending Options. Add the stroke with some color that is dark, something like this. And we need to add the drop shadow. And maybe we can go inside and Get this effect. Not think too much. Okay, and I think that's it. We can try our glow. No, that's it. Okay. Now we can go and do stuff like this. Want to select I want to select those two. And to move him on the right rate. And now my text to move below that. So his arm is up front. Let's go add a lightning. Great, and change this lightning to. We can go with either Color Dodge or color dodge at. Let's go with this and move it below. So we can go with this, maybe move it below that area also. Or we can go upfront. And maybe we can go and duplicate this layer a couple more times to get this stormy effect, something like that. I will move this below grade. Now let me just give me a second. So for this, I use color range and I will click on that black area. So once I took a sample of that black area, it will automatically make selection of those areas. Now what I want to do is I want to create a new layer. And I want to pick my brush tool, wheat, foreground color white. And I want to paint over that area just like this. So make sure to paint over that area. This is really useful technique when you want to specifically move something from one color to another in annual layers. So you took course, you go to, you go to select, and you go to Color Range, and you'll find that color specifically. And once you do that, it will automatically create selection of a similar color. And you will get the chance to do something like this. Okay, so now I don't need anymore this background. So I will delete this layer, LIATE layer, and I will make this guy up here again, control D. And I want to move this below everything. Great. And I want to reduce the opacity. Or we can go with Blur and we can add Qishan blur. This is too much we can go with. This is a little, we can go with something like this. Okay, This is really nice looking thumbnail for our work. So guys, that's it. How we create that. Another cool effect in Photoshop. Maybe you can add up here some logo or something else. I think this is nice. And I1, I1 bother anymore with that. Thank you all for watching and see you in another video. Bye. 4. I paid $2000 for this Thumbnail: Hi everyone and welcome. In this video we are going to create amazing thumbnail using two images. This will be our subject and this will be our background. So let's get started. First, we need to create selection of these girls. So for that, we can go and grab our objects selection tool and just make sure to fill everything. And upon release we should have a decent selection of this girl. Give him a second. Great. Now we go to Select and Mask to see is everything, okay? And I cannot see anything with this, so I will go and choose overlay. You see those edges. This is tricky area when we put it up here at our background, we will have a problem. So for that, we can go, you see, we can go and add. Let's just say one pixel. Much better. And that's it. I think I'm satisfied with how it turns out. Let me just show check everything. Yeah, it's it's almost perfect. Okay. And how we can extract this girl to another layer. So all we need to do is hold Command J, and we have our girl in a new layer. Now, I will just drag and drop this girl up here. Great. And now we can go from up here, right-click go to Blending Options, up here to blending options. I want to add our glow. So make this girl pop-out. And for that, I'll go with some yellow color, something like this I think. And I want to increase the size of it of this effect. So I want to increase this. Let's go increase the size to something like this. Yeah, I think it looks really nice and hit, Okay. Because this is background. We can go and duplicate this layer. And now let's go to filters. We can go to Blur and choose Gaussian blur for our background. And I want to add to make it really something like this because this background is not important as this object is, but this is too much. We don't see anything of that background to decrease a bit, maybe around something like this. We can try with seven. It looks decent and hit, Okay, great. Now this is our image. We can go and put it up here. And now we need to add the text. Texts. Text is really important, so we want to make our viewer interested in what we have to show them in our video. E.g. you look at the face of this girl. This girl want to tell you something that you need to see. This phase is really good for thumbnails. And she also pointing on something. We need to add up here. Really good tax e.g. it really depends about what your niche is if you creating thumbnails for yourself. I am not a YouTube expert, but so I don't want to talk something about. I have no idea, but I see when clients I see what clients want with their sink on the thumbnail. They want to make viewer interested in what they have to show them in video. And this image is really amazing for our thumbnail. Because of few reasons. This background looks rich and this girl wants to tell us something that really make her. I cannot believe this is happening or something like that. You see this face. It's really she saw something that it's not normal, something like that. E.g. we can add up your text. You want to believe what I paid $2,000 or stuff like that because people when people see thumbnail like this, this face is like, what did she buy for $2,000. Is it the back? Is it I don't know. Some watch. Is it some new iPhone or something like that? You want your thumbnail to send the message to people. This is interesting, You need to click here, and this is what we are going to do. So from up here, we want to create this effect to make people want to click on our video. So let's go type something like that. You won't believe. So let's go and add the text. I paid $2,000 for this. So I will just click up here. And I paid. And now we want to create, we want to add some font that is really something special. Want to make this black. And let's go find some interesting font. And now let's go and increase the font and choose some of this. I want to go with this font. And I want to make it larger, something like this. Even a bit more. Rate. Don't judge me at, give me a minute. I will make this right. Great. Now, I want to create something like this. I want to go with rectangle tool and I want to make it white and without any stroke. That's it. So I want to create something like this. Just give me a second. I need to put this to zero. Okay, and now let's repeat that. Great. And I want to move it below. Now this rectangle, we just Control J to duplicate it and put it below. Or we can go and transform it, make it larger, even more. Great. And for the last one, we can go and do the same thing. Put it on a black men, duplicate this. Dops k, this layer, draw V and move it. So basically, we did something really simple in a few different layers. Right? I just want to make this a bit smaller. And this is really something that I'm satisfied with. We can add a couple more things. But this thumbnail, it's really amazing. And we can now change the color of this one, or we can let it be this color. Or we can match a color of her glasses and add a stroke to see how it looks to make this pop out. I don't think this looks good on these areas, so let's just try to increase the size. Maybe this is better. Okay, Let's see before and after. I think it looks better without, we can just change this to add some green color, like dollar bill or something like that. Okay. Let just say we are satisfied with our results. We created one really cool design in Photoshop. You see in no time. All you need to know up here is how to create a selection of your object. This is really simple with us. And this is really simple with the newest Photoshop. Objects selection tool is really amazing. You don't need to be experts to create selection like this. You saw we created this selection in 10 s and we duplicated that layer, lays that up here. We added a bluer to our background and we created taxed. So this is nothing special. We can add some extra things up here, but I don't want to be overwhelming. This is really nice, clean and simple. And we got right to the point. And this is really amazing. Thumbnail, when we look and everyone who saw this thumbnail will click on this thumbnail to see what is shaping $2,000 for. So that's it. I really hope you like this video. If you have any trouble with this, please make sure and let me know. I will gladly help you with anything you have problem with in Photoshop. So see you in the next video. Thank you for watching. 5. Text behind an object Thumbnail: Hi everyone and welcome. In this video we are going to create a thumbnail with the texts behind our person. So how we are going to do that? There is a couple of different ways. I will show you all of them and I will give you idea how you can do the same thing with any image that you have for your thumbnails or for your clients thumbnails. So let's get started. First. I have up here some girl and I want to put text behind her. So how we are going to do that? Because this is really, I think it would be really simple. Object for selection. I will go grab my quick selection tool and I will make selection of my object. In a couple of seconds. We will be done with the most part. We created selection. Now let's go zoom in to see how our selection is precise. You see there is a couple of different areas that we need to fix. So I will just hold my mouse and I will fix that. Let me see. Up here is okay. I need to fix this area. And for the most part, That's it. So I will go now grab my lasso tool and I will hold Option key to remove something from my selection just like that. Upon release, it will remove that area. I will do the same thing up here. It will remove that area. And if we want to add to our selection, you need to hold Shift. So I will zoom in a bit. So I can be precise with adding this area up here. Great. Now I want to remove this small green circle for my selection, just like that. And let's go up here. I will remove this area also. I'm holding space and moving with my mouse so I can check every area that I have up here. This is really nice for the most part of it. Great. And now this is the tricky area, so I will remove this area. Great. And now I will add this area just a little bit rate. And for the most part we are done. So we can add maybe this black up here. And also we need to add the DC area. And that's it. Now remove this. You see, it's really hard for Photoshop to determinate which pixels to put inside our selection and which one to remove. Because it's tricky area. We will do it by our own here. Great legacy. I'm satisfied with my selection and I need to go up here, select and mask. And from up here, Let's go to overlay. And to see those edges, all I want to do is I want to add some extra smooth up here, something like that. Really small changes and hit, Okay, let me zoom out. And this is our object. And how we are going to do that is by pressing Command J and we have our object in a new layer. Great. Now we can go and add text behind our object. So e.g. we will type something like travel with, I don't know. Someone you love, e.g. this is just me messing around. Okay? And now let's go make this a bit smaller. Hit Enter or Return key. All we need to do here is move this layer below our layer one and we can place it wherever we want it. So we can go and place it just like that up here. Now what we can do is we can go and add some extra stuff up here. We can go to Blending Options. And we can go and add different stuff. E.g. we can go add a stroke with some color like we can go with some dark green like that with size five. And we can add inner shadow. This is too much, I think. I will go with three. And we can go add a drop shadow. We can increase a distance and we can spread it. It's really up to you which one you prefer. I will go with something like this. Or we can add extra glue up here. And that's it. We can even go from up here at different stuff where if you have no idea which tax that back to one, you can go just here, click at the styles, and you can go choose from some of those, e.g. something like this. It's really a couple of different. It's really amazing how this looks, simple and easy. And let's just say, I will go with some natural widths. I don't know, something like this. Hit Okay. And now we are done with text. And, uh, later on, if you want to just move your That's one way. Now, if we want to put this woman on a different background, we can do that because we created selection offer and we can now just click on her and move it to another one. Just like here. Let's just say we want to put here, put her something like there. Great. Now I want to do and duplicate my background. And we can go from up here to filter blur. And we can go gauge Ambler. And we can add something like this. Okay? And we can go and bring this text also. Just like that. And if we don't like those effects, we can go and change that. We can go now to effects. Turn off all of those. Go to styles. Let's go to basics. To normal. Great. Now we can go Add Drop Shadow and maybe stroke. Or I don't want to put it because this looks much better. Now we can go and add a couple more things, e.g. we can go and add this. Now we can go and add some gradient just like this. And we can go from normal to multiply and reduce the opacity to around 20 per cent. Great. Now let's go before and after. We can go and move this. Or you can place her around here or add a couple more things up here. And it's really up to you and what you want to achieve with your thumbnails. This text is not really eye-catching. I would go with some different texts probably I would go with something like what I learned traveling, what I learned in desert or something like that. E.g. we can go with that. What I excuse me and stuff like that. This is much better. So we can place her right in the middle. And we can go move this up here and move her just a bit down there. Or we can add a different person. It's really up to you. So in this video, the most important thing that we'll learn is how to put any texts behind a person or an object. You can do the same thing with anything. So if you want to put your texts behind any object, just creates election, put that object in a new layer, or create the mask and put text behind that and that. And that's everything you need to know. So I hope you'll learn something. If you have questions, please let me know and see you in another video. Thank you for watching. Bye. 6. What you can't see Thumbnail: Hi everyone and welcome. In this video we are going to create something like this using two different images. So we need to extract this man from this background. So I will show you how to do that and how to place it up here on this background, and how to add this arrow in a white color. So there is couple of things to do. Nothing hard, nothing special. And let's get started. From up here we have our document prepared. So let's go first, extract this man, or we can go and place this image up here. Just drag and drop it, Control T to get it smaller because this is really high resolution image. Would go with something like this. Control Zero to fit the screen. Maybe decrease a size just a bit. Great. And that's it. Now, let's go to Filter. We can go to Filter. We can go to Blur, go to filter blur and Gaussian blur, and find which one is suits you the best. So I would go with something around here, around three pixels and hit, Okay. Now for this part, we have our, now we need to extract this man from this background. So for that the fastest way will be with Quick Selection Tool. I will increase this brush and just go around his head. Around this area. You see it really does a nice job. So we don't need to waste a lot of time here on these areas. Just like that will undo the smoke. And we need to add this R. And that's decent. So later on we can improve this selection. So let me now go zoom in and we can fix this area with our Lasso tool. This will be really fast. And I need this area. Just like that. This is time-consuming job, so don't rush anywhere. Those little details are really important. Sometimes if you mess this up, people will look and your work will look really funny. So make sure to check everything. Those small details. His hair is decent. This is a routing doing here, is mice. It's decent. Okay? Now Control J. I don't want to waste more time on this because it's really decent image. Great. Now we can go and place this image up here. Zoom out, Control T. Smaller, something like this. Okay? Now what we need to do is we need to go to Blending Options and add two or three stuff. First, I want to add a stroke with white color. And after we are done with stroke, I want to add our glow. Maybe increase the size a bit. Something like this. And what I want to add is drop-shadow. This looks nice. Great. Now we are almost done with this. We can go and hit. Okay. Now let's deal with that arrow. Just drag it here. He took a and grab your Magic Eraser Tool. Click once, and it will show you this smart object must be rasterized before proceeding hit Okay? And just click 12 times and three times to remove this area. Now, hold command to make selection of your arrow. And I want to create another new layer, and I want to paint this arrow using white colors. So make sure white color is your main color here, choose brush tool in a new layer and just paint over that area. Control the de-select. And I want to delete the black one, the black arrow. Now, I can go rotate this one. I can do I can flip it and do similar stuff. So currently I will just place that there. And that's it. Everything what's left to do is add this text. So let's go do that. And we can go something like this. By holding Command on this area. You will get this arrow that change and you just grab this angle and move it wherever you want. So I will go and do this. And you, Let's go change the color of this use. So I will go with some red color, something like this. Okay? And we can do the same thing for this area. Great, Now, this looks much better. We can rotate this arrow just a bit more, make it smaller, and that's it. Now let's go back here, go to Blending Options. And we can add a drop shadow, and we can add our glow, outer glow down to look nice and white one. So we can go and add a stroke. Let's go find some stroke that suits the best for those two. Something like this is okay. And now we can try this. Great. This looks much, much better. We can go and try to add a stroke on this area. So if we go and do that, this won't look nice. I would go inside. This is much better. But with three pixels and add a drop shadow, maybe this is too much. Let me bring that back here. Great. And let's try a blow for that part. Also. Great. The last thing that we need to add is question mark width. We can go with the same red color. And we can bold it a bit, rotate. Maybe even we can add a stroke of black color or the same one. This is nice, and that's it. So let's talk about this image for a minute. Just imagine this is the guide that shows you in his video how he earn money on line and a similar stuff. So when you see this image, this thumbnail that says what you don't see and it's showing you on a tablet something that is covered. Maybe it's some secret that he wants to reveal to everyone else and to show them how to earn online and something like that. So you need to make people want to see what's inside that video, what you are going to show them. And what's also important if you're creating this for yourself, you don't want to fool anyone. So you e.g. you created thumbnail like this and inside video you must give them something. If you make full of people, they will give you one chance, maybe second chance, but that's it. You don't get to fold them every time when you create something like that. So that's couple advisors about that. I really hope you like it. And if you have any questions, like I mentioned in my videos, please let me know. Create a project of your own work. Let's share it with me. Let's discuss about it. Maybe I can help you with something you have trouble with. And I don't know what can that be, but let me know. And CIA in the next video, Bye. 7. Gaming Thumbnail: Hi everyone and welcome. In this video, we are going to create a thumbnail for gamers. So in this particular video we have this Guo Qu guy. He is I think one of the most famous TV shows in the world. So in this video, I will show you how to create cool and nice-looking thumbnail in Photoshop using only simple techniques. So let's get started. First, what we need to do, we need to extract this character from this background, how we are going to do that? There is a couple different ways. You can go with Pen tool. Or we can go just click Objects Selection Tool or we can use Quick Selection Tool. Try the best one. So I will go with objects selection tool and I will make sure I selected the whole body. So I think that's it upon release, given couple seconds to process and to give us a selection of our object. So let's see how it turned out. Well, there is couple of things that we need to fix, e.g. this up here. So for that, I will go bring my lesser tool and hold Shift and add that the selection. So now we need to, we need to check, is this selection good or not? So there is couple of things that we need to remove from selection. Stuff like this. A bit more. Great. I need to add this. And I need to remove this from my selection. Great. For the most part, the, there is no problem with this selection. I can go and choose my Quick Selection tool and holding Option key. It will remove from selection. Just like that. It's way faster. Great. Now I can go bring back my lasso tool and fix those area much faster, just like this. Great. That's it. And I think this selection is really good. Great. Now when we have selection of our object, we can go to Select and Mask and just the bit make it smarter and better, just like that. And he took a great once when we have our selection ready, I need to remove this from selection. And everything else is okay. All we need to do now is hit Control or excuse me, Command J to create this guy in a new layer, just like that rate. Now we have our background. This is a resolution for YouTube thumbnails. So we are going to bring that guy over here. But before that, I will go bring my Gradient tool and I will choose this color. So you can go and choose the same color like I did here. Okay? And I will go and do something like this. Maybe a bit more. Something like this. Okay, now let's go bring this guy over there. Control T to get it a bit smaller. Great. And for my background, I want to inverse this selection, so reverse rate. Now this look much better. Next thing that we need to do is we need to add this lightning. Just drag and drop it. I can make it just a bit smaller. Something like this. Okay. And now I want to change this to soft light. Yeah, soft light is amazing. And we can we can go and add this space backgrounds. So how we are going to do that? Just bring your move tool, drag and drop it and move it below and choose some color like like soft light. And I want to reduce the opacity to around 20% or 30%. Ledgers go with something like this. Okay, now we need to add a couple more things. We need to add a text and a couple more effects, and we are done. Nothing special really. So we can go from up here and add a stroke of our objects. How we are going to do that? Let's go to blending options. We can go to stroke and we can add some stroke like white or some yellow. I want to go something on yellow. Okay? And position outside. I won't go too much. I will go with two pixels. And what I want to add is I want to add outer glow with something like this, with size around 20 pixels, spread, around 20%. And I want to add a straw with almost white color, just a bit yellowish, something like that. And I need the drop shadow. I need the drop shadow. I need to increase a distance. And I need to increase this and a size to make it pop out, something like that to get this effect where it now I can go increase the size of him and maybe just a bit rotate just the bit rate. Now, this looks much better. So let's go with or without defects. It looks really nice. And what we need to do up here, we need to add some text. So I will just go type Photoshop, thumbnail. Great. And now I want to make him even more bold and Control D to make it just a bit smaller. And I want to rotate this one. Okay? I want to go to blending options. I want to go to stroke 0, K shop. I need to add inner shadow. And what I want to add up here, maybe drop shadow, something like that. I will go and add Photoshop. Dominate this part. Let's go make it a bit larger. Now select it and increase of distance between those two. Great. Control T to get it smaller. And now. Now I want to change the color of that. What's inside to something like this. Or we can go try without this one to see how it looks. This looks maybe even better. I want to decrease a size of this Photoshop, something like this, and make it closer. Great. This is something that I want to go with. The last thing is to add. From up here, we need to add this Photoshop logo. With the eraser tool. We can go with Magic Eraser tool. Okay. We can go and delete those edges just like that. And you see this area here. We need to delete that also. So how we are going to do that? Make sure your, your object is selected and we go to eraser and bring your eraser just like that and delete that area. Great for Photoshop logo. We can do the same thing as we did with thumbnail. We can even decrease the size of it and add stuff like drop shadow. Or we can go with stroke, width, stroke that is almost white or white. And we can go with outer glow with white color and drop shadow. That's it. So guys, this is how we can create so this is how we can create a gaming thumbnails. So e.g. from up here we can check probably we would go with some super say and go cool or stuff like that. We could use different fonts, different, different color, e.g. we can go with this Photoshop. Let's go with this color Photoshop thumbnail. So we can go and do stuff like this. We can, we can go and do stuff like this. Great. It's really up to you which one you prefer? This is me, just trying random things. If you don't like this background, you'll want something darker. You can go probably big Paint Bucket Tool. Fill this with black color and reduce the opacity to around five or ten per cent to make this background look much darker. Let's go with ten pixels, or ten per cent. Or we can go with 30 to make him more pop out. But I think this is too much. I would go probably with something like 15. So let's go see before and after. This is before and after. So those lightning calm make really pop out here. That's it, how you can create gaming thumbnails. So please create your own work and upload it so we can get to comments.
