<v ->Another strategy that works really, really well</v>
2

2

00:00:03,390  -->  00:00:06,790
is just to put a black background,
3

3

00:00:06,790  -->  00:00:10,660
and then to put big, bold text with the title
4

4

00:00:10,660  -->  00:00:12,240
of the YouTube video.
5

5

00:00:12,240  -->  00:00:13,880
And you can use one or two colors.
6

6

00:00:13,880  -->  00:00:15,840
And I didn't want to dedicate a whole section to this
7

7

00:00:15,840  -->  00:00:18,670
because it's a pretty simplistic solution,
8

8

00:00:18,670  -->  00:00:20,260
but it works exceptionally well.
9

9

00:00:20,260  -->  00:00:21,940
Now, if you're gonna do this,
10

10

00:00:21,940  -->  00:00:25,820
make sure that you have some consistency
11

11

00:00:25,820  -->  00:00:26,880
to your images.
12

12

00:00:26,880  -->  00:00:30,330
And we talk about this in Image Design Principle Number 10
13

13

00:00:30,330  -->  00:00:32,640
where we talk about branding and consistency.
14

14

00:00:32,640  -->  00:00:34,450
And so for me, for example,
15

15

00:00:34,450  -->  00:00:37,230
I put my logo in the same location
16

16

00:00:37,230  -->  00:00:39,040
on my thumbnail images.
17

17

00:00:39,040  -->  00:00:40,380
So that's just my branding.
18

18

00:00:40,380  -->  00:00:41,600
I try to be consistent.
19

19

00:00:41,600  -->  00:00:43,620
And if you want, you can do the same as well.
20

20

00:00:43,620  -->  00:00:44,453
Thanks.
