MediaYouTube thumbnail with your face and a short hook
Use the photo I've attached of me. Design a YouTube thumbnail for my video about {{topic}}.
Keep my face, features, skin tone, hairstyle and expression recognizably mine; don't slim, smooth or reshape me. Cut me out from the chest up and place me on the right third, big enough that my face fills about a third of the frame height, with a thin light edge separating me from the background.
On the left: one bold visual that shows what the video is about at a glance, and the words "{{thumbnail_text}}" in a heavy, condensed sans-serif with a dark outline, spelled exactly as written, on no more than two lines. A simple, saturated background with nothing competing for attention. It must read clearly at phone size, so keep it to three elements: my face, the visual and the words. Leave the bottom-right corner clear, where the video length appears.
No other text, logos, arrows or watermarks. Format: 16:9.
