Hiring: Long-Term YouTube Thumbnail Designer
I’m looking for a long-term thumbnail designer for a 2D animated YouTube channel featuring an animated character who investigates companies like Disney, Costco, Amazon, Google, Tesla, Starbucks, NASA, and more.
Pay
* $3.50 USD per thumbnail
* 4 thumbnails per week (16+ per month)
Please only apply if you’re comfortable with this rate. My budget is fixed for now.
What I’m Looking For
* High-CTR YouTube thumbnails
* Premium 2D illustrated style
* One clear visual story & one strong focal point
* Clean, professional compositions
* Creative enough to come up with original thumbnail concepts (not just follow instructions)
Preference: Designers with experience creating thumbnails for 2D animated or faceless YouTube channels.
To Apply
Please send:
* Your portfolio
* The best YouTube thumbnail you’ve ever made
* Any examples of thumbnails for 2D animated channels (if available)
* Your turnaround time
If you’re shortlisted, you’ll be asked to create one sample thumbnail from the same prompt as every other applicant so I can compare creativity, storytelling, and quality fairly.
