We’re looking for a skilled YouTube thumbnail designer / graphic designer to create high-CTR thumbnails for our faceless vintage music YouTube channels.
Our content focuses on classic R&B, soul, and vintage music nostalgia, targeting an older audience that loves reliving iconic eras and forgotten hits.

• High-contrast vintage-inspired designs
• Emotion-driven imagery (nostalgia, mystery, memory)

These are faceless thumbnails — no talking heads.
We care more about clarity, emotion, and CTR than over-designed visuals.
