I am a hobbyist designer looking to excel in Graphic Design. I have designed this YouTube thumbnail as a personal practice project. Please let me have your valuable feedback so that I may improve as a designer. Disclaimer: This design is a strictly personal, non-commercial project created by a fan of the Affinity suite of products. The purpose is to practice YouTube thumbnail design, that is, solely for educational and review purposes. The official Affinity Photo logo, used strictly in its unaltered form and directly downloaded from the Affinity press kit, is a trademark of Affinity/Serif.

Thanks for your valuable feedback!

Thank you guys for your feedback. This was an assignment that I did as part of my Photoshop online class earlier. I recreated it in Affinity Photo in my own way. It just happened to be. I looked at the design provided by you. If you look at mine, I intentionally brightened up the leaves in the foreground. Also, chose a somewhat fluorescent font color other than white. I recreated this in my own way. 😊

I recreated this text-and-image interlocking design using Affinity Photo. I attempted it for the first time when I was a Photoshop user. Now, I have given it a shot using Affinity Photo. Please let me have your valuable feedback.

My heartfelt thanks to @GarryP and @smadell for the thorough and constructive reviews.

I created this photo composite in Affinity Photo. The composition work was a fantastic experience. I am attaching the final composite image followed by the two source images. Several Adjustment and Live Filter Layers have been applied. Some of them are Brightness/Contrast, Vibrance, Curves Adjustment, High Pass, etc. Needless to say, the layer mask technique has been used. Please let me have your feedback.

I have created this YouTube Thumbnail piece using Affinity Photo. Apart from basic compositing, I was able to practice the following features of Affinity Photo— Outer Glow Layer Effect, Adjustment Layers (Unsharp Mask, Vibrance, and Labels), Artistic Text with Layer Effects (Color Overlay, Inner Shadow), Basic Shape (Rectangle), Blend Modes, and Gaussian Blur Live Filter. Needless to say, I enjoyed the creative process. 😃

I have designed a poster on the theme of 'Positive Outlook'. This is a personal project. The base images (the winter landscape backdrop, the spring scene, and the wooden window) were originally sourced from AI art generators. Subsequently, they were composited into a unified piece using Affinity Photo. I have tried to put forward my message subtly. This was a good opportunity to apply Layer Effects (Mainly Curves), and Live Filters (Vibrance and Gaussian Blur), and there was a good scope for applying selection techniques. Some time was spent on the subtlety of the gradient effect in the rectangular banner at the bottom of the piece. The design was refreshingly enjoyable to me and gave me practical opportunities to apply my skills.
