Why should you take this class? Because it's simple, easy to understand, and to the point. Adobe Photoshop is a photo editing and graphic design software that can help you create great looking thumbnails for your YouTube channel, even if you don't have previous experience.

When it comes to attracting new viewers, YouTube thumbnails are the second most important thing aside from the title of your videos. If they stand out, the increased exposure can potentially lead to new clients, sponsors or ad revenue.

Who is this class for? The curriculum is designed for beginners, although some intermediate tips and tricks are shown and explained.

What you'll need: A computer with an internet connection to download Adobe Creative Cloud or some version of Photoshop already installed.
