Not so sour, sour dough thumbnail

For this thumbnail I had a specific goal in mind of grabbing attention (and hopefully holding).

For this project, I took heavy inspiration from the Bon Appétit YouTube channel and their thumbnails. I first took a screenshot of her in a video where the stuff she laid out was not too different from the two meals that she would be cooking. I then used the AI remove background to remove her from the picture and then…

I made this thumbnail by taking a screenshot of her in the kitchen and adding big bold text so it stands out on YouTube. I used the object selection tool to cut out the dough and then added a stroke around it so it pops more on the screen. I even put the YouTube watch bar at the bottom to…
