YouTube Thumbnail SEO Principles Used

Here we have a good example of a practice we use in YouTube SEO.

The goal here is to create a thumbnail (Or in this case a book cover) that stands out from the crowd. Something to entice a reader to pick up and read the synopsis.

We want people to look at the artwork with curiosity, using reflections in the hourglass, we were able to add an air of mystery. Why is the boy walking away? Why is the grandfather clock in the image? Is the storm coming in or leaving? Are all questions this image invokes.

Design Mistake We Decided To Keep

We noticed that when the image was shrunk down into a thumbnail, that the Grandfather Clock and the shape of the sand it sitting on appears to generate a visual effect of an arrow. Once you see it your eye is drawn to it. Working on the youtube ethos of making your thumbnails stand out in a crowd, we opted to leave it in.

Symbology Behind The Collective’s Logo

The Collective, featured in the book are a shadowy organisation tasked with the turning of the Hourglass.

Combined this symbol is known as the thaumaturgic triangle. It has been used as a symbol for the Illuminati, Masons, Kabbalah Movement, and some Christian faiths.

Hourglass Symbol In Symbology

The hourglass symbol represents that many problems which worry us every day aren’t that big from the perspective of time. The movement of sand through the hourglass also reminds us that spiritual thoughts/ideas must move into our hearts to change us. Living a New Thought Life means living in the present moment.
