About MotionArt

MotionArt is a YouTube growth and production agency helping creators develop and scale their channels. We're looking for a creative YouTube Thumbnail Designer to create eye-catching, high-quality thumbnails that communicate video concepts clearly and encourage viewers to click.

Work Format

  • Fully remote with flexible working hours.

  • Approximately one thumbnail per week initially.

  • Long-term collaboration with opportunities for additional projects.

Compensation

Approximately $25 USD per thumbnail. Final rates depend on the project's scope, complexity, and requirements.

Responsibilities

  • Design engaging YouTube thumbnails tailored to specific video topics and target audiences.

  • Select and combine images, typography, composition, and visual elements to create compelling designs.

  • Ensure thumbnails remain clear, readable, and visually effective at small sizes.

  • Align thumbnail concepts with video titles and content to communicate a strong, consistent message.

  • Adapt designs to different YouTube channels, niches, and visual styles.

  • Implement agreed revisions and deliver completed thumbnails on time.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience designing YouTube thumbnails.

  • A strong portfolio demonstrating previous thumbnail design work.

  • Excellent understanding of visual composition, typography, and attention to detail.

  • Understanding of how thumbnails and video titles work together to attract viewers.

  • Ability to create original, customized designs rather than relying solely on ready-made templates.

  • Experience using AI-powered tools in the design process.

  • English proficiency sufficient to understand briefs, video topics, and feedback.

  • Ability to work independently, communicate clearly, and meet deadlines.

What We Offer

  • Fully remote collaboration and flexible working hours.

  • Opportunities for long-term cooperation.

  • Potential to design thumbnails for multiple YouTube channels based on performance and project availability.

  • Creative projects across different YouTube niches.

  • Students are welcome to apply if they meet the requirements.

We look forward to seeing your work!
