What this prompt does
One YouTube video thumbnail: a single strong subject with exaggerated emotion or action and high-contrast color, built to stay eye-catching when scaled down to phone feed size.
- Give the subject's face or the core object at least 40% of the frame.
- Reduce the background to one or two color blocks, or blur it with shallow depth of field.
- Keep light-and-dark contrast strong.
- Keep key elements out of the bottom-right corner, reserved for the duration badge.
- Do not use dense clusters of small elements.
- A single dominant subject: face or core object filling at least 40% of the frame.
- Exaggerated emotion or action on the subject.
- High-contrast color scheme.
- Background reduced to one or two color blocks, or blurred with shallow depth of field.
- Bottom-right corner left clear for the duration badge.
16:9 landscape, sharp edges, no text — the title copy is overlaid later.
