Not so sour, sour dough thumbnail

For this thumbnail I had a specific goal in mind of grabbing attention (and hopefully holding). I used components that I typically find myself looking at on YouTube and combined them with elements from the other YouTube channel’s thumbnails. Using big red text and an arrow was one of the ways I found videos grabbing my attention. I also seemed to notice that facial expression that show electric emotions like being surprised or being scared, really grab my attention. So, I used a screenshot of Melissa G. having a “not usual” or not resting face to trigger emotion
