This is one of most highly requested videos so I decided to make an updated Thumbnail Tutorial for you guys. The tutorial is quite simple but will help you make your thumbnails look a lot better.

All you need is to get Photoshop CS5 and up to follow along with this video. In this particular video I created a Call of Duty thumbnail. You can obviously changed the background wallpaper to something relevant to your video. For example, if you had a FIFA 16 video, include a picture of a stadium.

In the bottom right of my thumbnail I placed a picture of a gun, but obviously you can replace the puppy with anything you want.

In this video you will learn, how to use the 'Soft Round' tool brush to make a cool looking effect with the color of your choice.

You will also learn how to make your title stand out by using certain colors, color schemes and fonts.

Another thing you will learn is how to properly use the 'Blending Options' correctly and how to create a cool glowing effect on your text and any picture you want.
