Рет қаралды 205,089
Күн бұрынWe take a lot of pride in our thumbnails, but they haven't always been great. Marques and our graphic designer Tim look back on old MKBHD thumbnails that never made their way to a Photoshop project.

Being a fan/subscriber of the channel since the early days, this video hit me hard. You can see the sadness in Marques’ eyes when the lg flex thumbnail gets brought up. For a channel that hit Samsung so hard for the fake moon pictures, having ultra processed images that simply don’t exist in real life rubs me the wrong way. On the other hand, he’s doing so well that he can afford to pay a person exclusively to create thumbnails. Insane flex.

This insight is so incredibly important for those of us trying to start creating. Thanks so much for sharing! Also love how most of Tim's input is how each edit made him feel. Its not all about the data or the analytics; even talented pros like Tim have moments of self doubt which is so reassuring to hear.

@jshooper7819 9 ай бұрын
As a graphic designer with about 15 years of experience in my career...I shared the cringe with Tim when Marques was describing his old process! Reminded me of when clients or developers would try to do my job for me back in the day. I had to learn Jedi Master level restraint! 😂 That being said, MKBHD's old thumbnails still look good despite the bootleg process.

This video is another example of why videos on this channel are rewatchable. So interesting to get these little reveals about how the small unsung details of a video come together - 8 hour edit of a photograph! That picture of the city reflected on the back of the phone, seeing how much the details and workflow have changed. Great 👍🏾
@thelonelyloner7 9 ай бұрын
Tim's work is actually so inspiring, I've checked out his Instagram and his page and the things he did/does are pretty cool. I'm glad he gets to express his thoughts and his work because most of the time the work he does on videos just doesn't get the praise it should. Keep up the great work!

I love how humble and great of a boss, Marques is. TBH, watching those old videos, I really enjoyed Marques's thumbnails a lot at the time. It was still a level above everyone else and with Tim joining and The Studio talent expanding that quality of work has just kept on increasing. Kudos to you all!
