Create Irresistible YouTube Thumbnails with Canva

Nice one, Kenneth! This thumbnail has a strong hook and gives off serious documentary or mystery vibes, very Netflix-style. I would have love to have more context about the video though, or at least its title. Here’s some feedback to help make it even more effective:- The central pose is strong. The hand on the chin adds curiosity and makes you want to know what this is all about. Is that you at the center?- The red string and newspaper clippings instantly communicate investigation or conspiracy. It is a familiar visual language that works well for history or true-crime content.- The background is busy, but not overwhelming. You balanced the chaos of the "investigation board" with a clean central focus: the detective's eyes. Smart move.- The handwritten sticky notes (“DEAD” and “KILLED”) are an interesting personal touch, but they could stand out even more with a slight glow or stroke. Right now they blend in just a little.- The chalkboard math adds some intrigue, but make sure it supports the story. If this is more about history than science, you could consider swapping a few equations for handwritten names or arrows to help guide the eye. All in all, this thumbnail is eye-catching and does the job of getting people curious. If the title of your video matches the intrigue this visual creates, you are on the right track.
