WELCOME TO MY BLOG
We had a meeting last Sunday and the meeting started at exactly 8 pm.
Here are the answers to the task 5 of the week.
With your understanding, explain what you understand by “thumbnail.” Hence, discuss why they have to be stunning and as important it is to create content
WHAT THUMBNAIL MEANS
The thumbnail is an image that is designed to summarize the topic of a post or piece of content. A thumbnail makes it easy for people to know what is going on, in your post, and it also provides detail on what your blog or content is all about. I really like using it on my blog because to me, it adds more quality and value to the post.
IMPORTANCE OF THUMBNAILS
As a writer or blogger on Hive, you must ensure that your thumbnail accurately represents the content of your article. An excellent thumbnail has the ability to either draw in more readers or turn them off. It is what entices people to interact with your post.
What are the dimensions of creating thumbnails? What is the general size (or dimensions) for a thumbnail, and explain why it is so.
BREAKDOWN FOR THE DIMENSION ON THUMBNAIL
Our teacher discussed his ideal thumbnail size, which is 1280 × 720 pixels on Canva. He also noted that this is the normal size for thumbnails and that using a different size could result in our thumbnail seeming squeezed.
For this task, make two thumbnails. Use one as the main, and provide the other in the post. Both images should be different yet relevant to the post. Hence, provide a step-by-step nexplanation of how you achieve each.
HOW I CREATED MY THUMBNAIL
First step: login into your canva app then let's start our designs.
Second step: scroll down and click a youtube size package , the one you can see.
Third step: apply all your content of your choice , the inspiration to design would come naturally and then you move on .
My last step: after all your design then save , it would show this , it is very easy to relate with .
Then click on save , you can see the arrow like symbol at the right corner of the canva interface.
You can now choose the place that you want to save it as you can see many option on the image.
