First off I wanna say
i'm early finally
woo k im'a get on with the blog

HELLO FOXLINGS
I'll show you How to make a good thumbnail
Even if mine aren't as good as what i'm trying to say.
So let's get to it
again



When getting a picture, (Screenshot, online picture) You always HAVE TO EDIT! I have a really great editing website, and it's amazingg
https://www.picmonkey.com
Its super good
You can make a thumbnail from scratch (Which is what I do) Or you can edit a picture, make a collage, ect.
I think making a picture from scratch is pretty hard, but with PicMonkey it's 10 times easier. Be creative when you use and online picture! Like as if you were searching something on google, remake it all! Its great how many great styles you can go for when your making a thumbnail from scratch / using an image base.



Now you have your picture. It's time to label your picture. If you were making an interview, you would add a label. Usually on websites you would see an "Add Text" Box. That's how you add text
duh
But you can get creative! Like using different fonts, adding some shapes you can put your text on, ect.



After you've added your labels, its time to put in a little magic. I Love PicMonkey because you can use the makeup tool (First fade the color a bit) and use it as an effect. I also love adding themes, overlays, (My favorite overlay is the Bokeh) and stickers. Its a great tool for editing.



I hope you liked this! I know it was pretty short lelel, but here are some other editing tips / websites i can give to you guys!


Tips -
Don't over edit, unless all of the editing are going to collage and go together perfectly. If not than it will be to hard to focus on.

When editing, don't mix two colors such as yellow and blue, it makes it look brown and very unflattering. Mixing oranges, pinks, (same color familys) will go great with your thumbnail.

Its good to use the same theme as your blog. What I mean as is that if your making a "How to Make a Minecraft Cake" blog, then as your thumbnail you should put the ingredients to the cake and make it on a table / kitchen workbench.


Websites -
Finding some high quality editing websites are hard, but you can use simple computer editing websites and have them turn out great. Some people use Microsoft paint. If you rather have a website, some high quality ones are -
PicMonkey
Fotor
Pixlr
BeFunky
You can also look up
Good photo editing websites
And a bunch will come up
Such as those up there ^^
