Create a clickable YouTube thumbnail using uploaded reference images: Ref1 = PERSON/CREATOR FACE, Ref2 = MAIN OBJECT/SCENE, optional Ref3 = SECONDARY PROP/LOGO. Compose one dominant story: CORE CONFLICT/REVEAL. Make the hero subject huge (60–70% frame) with a clean cutout, thick outline stroke, and soft drop shadow for separation. If Ref1 is used, show a strong EMOTION expression facing the reveal. Place Ref2 as the “reveal” item, slightly larger than life, with a spotlight/rim light and a single simple cue (one arrow or one circle) pointing to KEY DETAIL. Background: blurred, darker, minimal, with subtle gradient using BRAND COLORS; keep 2–3 colors max. Add bold hook text: HOOK TEXT (2–5 WORDS) in a heavy sans font, high-contrast fill + thick stroke, positioned in clean negative space, no tiny words. Add one small badge: NUMBER/RESULT (e.g., “$0→$10K”, “24 HRS”, “NEW”, “FIXED”). Finish with crisp sharpening on subjects, mild vignette, and clean safe margins. Avoid clutter, avoid multiple small faces, avoid busy patterns, avoid unreadable text.
