For Downgrade Arcade, a YouTube channel focused on gameplay and comedy, I am responsible for the brand identity, design engaging thumbnails, create channel graphics, and edit videos. My goal is to craft a visual experience that is nostalgic, modern, and colorful, celebrating the charm of classic video games. This project is ongoing, as we explore strategies to attract and connect with viewers.
Video thumbnails for Downgrade Arcade were made to be consistent in styling, vibrant, and eye-catching for potential viewers. Based on research in this niche, some video series have similar thumbnails for each episode, and others are slightly different to reflect the content of the game.
