Thumbnail

Creating a high-quality thumbnail is essential for attracting learners to your curriculum. To maintain a professional and engaging look on AnyCampus, please refer to the following standards and tips:

Basic Standards

• Image Size and Format: Use images larger than 1024x576 pixels, in .jpg, .jpeg, or .png file formats.

• Image Style Preference: Prefer a single, unedited image for a simpler look with fewer visual elements. Cutout or cropped images of yourself (creator) are optional.

• Text Inclusion: Text can be included. Keep it simple and easy to read.

Tips for Creating Thumbnails

• Clear Message: Learners should be able to understand what you will share in a curriculum just by looking at the thumbnail.

• Simplicity: Minimize the number of visual elements and details to enhance understanding and maintain a professional look.

• Background: Ensure the background behind the text is simple and doesn't distract from the readability of the text.

Additional Recommendations

• High-Quality Images: Ensure your images are high-resolution to avoid pixelation and maintain a professional appearance.

• Consistent Branding: Use a consistent color scheme and style to create a cohesive look across your content.

• Readable Fonts: Choose fonts that are easy to read and ensure there is good contrast between the text and the background.

• Engaging Visuals: Use expressive and relevant visuals that relate to your curriculum content.

• Accurate Representation: Ensure your thumbnail accurately represents the content of your curriculum to set correct expectations for learners.

• Professionalism: Avoid using overly crowded or cluttered images. A clean and simple design is more likely to attract viewers.
