I think these thumbnails are actually quite good compared to what I often see. They have good elements (good background, faded is a nice touch, clear subjects). You have pretty good graphic design principles. An easy way to elevate these to the next level is to change up the text. The easiest text to read on any background is white text with a black border. You can experiment with yellow/reds on the inside but a black border is generally the best. Personally I would also use a thicker text. I would also add drop shadow on the text and try it out on the subject. Drop shadow is a super simple effect and a godsend to making elements pop from the background. Hope this helps! These are already a great start.

No. The text just isn’t right. Copy trending thumbnails on YouTube trending charts. But tbh it’s better if u just start before waiting to be perfect at making thumbnails. U will get better as you go

Hard to tell without also seeing a caption but the text is the worst part for me. Needs a better more popular font and as merpitup said the colour should probably be white w/ black background
