- Context
- From 2020 to 2024, I worked with YouTube and Twitch creators. A video is won before the click: thumbnail, waiting screen.
- What I did
- YouTube channel management, video editing, complete Twitch packs: screens, overlays, panels, emotes.
- Outcome
- Channels with a recognisable identity, from thumbnail to live stream.
The process
The thumbnail earns the click
An expressive face, three words at most, contrast that stands out on a recommendations page. Every thumbnail is designed to be read in a split second, even tiny on a phone.
Before the live
The “Le stream commence” (the stream is starting) screen is the first thing viewers see. Each streamer gets their own, in their own world: neon and circuits for one, flaming type for another.
A pixel-art scene
For one streamer, a complete pixel-art scene: a city rooftop at night, penguins at the windows, the headset-wearing mascot and the title on a metal shutter. A waiting screen people actually want to look at.
A complete kit for one streamer
For Ryctus, the full pack: logo, “Le stream commence” screen and panel buttons (Twitter, commands, Discord) in a purple-and-gold universe, circuit lines and stars. One identity from the logo down to the last button.
