Sobre este curso

Think Like a Click: The Psychology Behind Effective Thumbnails is a creator-focused class that teaches you how to design thumbnails that genuinely earn attention (not with flashy software tricks), but with clarity, strategy, and intent.

As creators, we scroll past hundreds of thumbnails every day and often decide what to watch in a split second. This class will show you how to think like your viewer and make design choices that trigger curiosity and clicks, no matter what software you use.

You’ll learn:

  • Why different thumbnail styles work for different types of content
  • What to actually show in your thumbnails (and what to leave out)
  • How to make your thumbnails look high-quality and professional
  • The role of color, composition, and contrast in catching the eye
  • When and how to use text effectively — without clutter
  • How to stay consistent and build your visual brand
  • The most common thumbnail mistakes and how to avoid them

Whether you're just starting out or want to improve your click-through rate, this class will sharpen your thumbnail intuition and help you design visuals that stop the scroll.

Professor

Hey!

I'm Edi, a YouTuber and a Physics researcher. I was born in Portugal, studied Physics in Germany for 5 years, and am currently in Belgium.

Stories are what I love to share, and I've been watching YouTube since I was a little kid. Since a very early age, I have been making videos for myself, friends, and my partner. About 5 years ago, I started posting on YouTube, sharing interesting stories in the most engaging way possible. I had absolutely no background in any creative skills and can now proudly say that I'm pretty good at them! I combined it with my love of teaching and am now on Skillshare.
