About

I’m looking for a creative YouTube Thumbnail Designer who understands the rap and underground editing scene. This is for my channel Tiny Tapes — https://www.youtube.com/@tinytapes2 The Role: Design high-impact thumbnails that instantly grab attention and show off editing effects. You’ll need to recreate or enhance editing visuals like shakes, glows, distortions, motion blurs, overlays, and other stylized effects using Photoshop (or any software you prefer). Thumbnails should feature recognizable artists such as Playboi Carti, Ken Carson, Osamason, Nettspend, Destroy Lonely, etc., while matching the Tiny Tapes aesthetic — dark, punchy, energetic, and editing-focused. Check out my channel before applying to understand the look I’m going for: https://www.youtube.com/@tinytapes2 Requirements: Strong Photoshop or design software skills Understanding of the music video editing and viral editing pack community Ability to make artists, effects, and titles look clean, hype, and unique — not generic Can deliver new thumbnails quickly (1–2 day turnaround) Communicates clearly and accepts feedback Workload: Flexible / as needed (1–5 thumbnails per week) Great opportunity for long-term collaboration if your designs fit our brand. Test Thumbnail (Required Before Hiring) Before moving forward, I’d love to see how you’d approach Tiny Tapes’ thumbnail style. Create a test thumbnail for this video: 🎥 The Ultimate Guide to BUTTERY Slow Motion Edits https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/lpylvpz1dvz0nq2wx6n8n/the-ultimate-guide-to-BUTTERY-slow-motion-edits.mp4?rlkey=uyq5i1xxfm5e47p94ejua9e88&dl=0 Use the thumbnails on my YouTube channel as inspiration: 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@tinytapes2 Try to match the same tone — bold, scroll-stopping, clean composition, and text that instantly tells the viewer what the video’s about. Feel free to add your own creative flair if it fits the vibe. Once you’re done, send your test thumbnail as a PNG or JPG. If your design matches our style and grabs attention, we’ll move forward with a paid test round and future work. To Apply: Send 3–5 of your best thumbnail samples (preferably in this niche) If you’ve done work related to editing packs, rap visuals, or YouTube tutorials, include that too Optional: Recreate or improve one of my existing channel thumbnails to stand out
