Easy Way To Make Backgrounds For Thumbnails!
Here's my step by step process to making backgrounds. I this video I go through the standard grass hill/blue sky background that's seen the most, but this workflow can be applied to pretty much all backgrounds you make.
Just remember the golden rule:
Backgrounds should create context, NOT distraction.

    issue with these thumbnails is they look cringey, I think there needs to be a balance between "standing out" and trying to give someone a seizure. they are too saturated, they look photoshopped, the colour schemes are good, but they may (and when I say may, I mean will because they do to me) draw some viewers away because they look like clickbait, they look formulaic, they look mr beastified, which may attract children, but if that's not your primary audience, and your audience may have a large amount of people who get turned away by these super bright fake colours, then these don't work. it's better to go for a slightly less professional, sure use these to make colours pop, but not so much contrast that it looks like you're trying too hard, make it look like you didn't put too much thought into the thumbnail and that it's natural (technically I'm making it unnatural by suggesting this and knowingly doing it, but the point still stands) people want to watch a person, not a money grabbing corporation
