Design for the Size
Thumbnails are tiny: one bold subject, huge contrast, readable at 120 pixels. Posters are large: layered detail rewards a second look. Match --ar to the platform before generating.
Leave Room for Text
Compose with negative space where titles go; add text in an editor, never in the prompt. Test the thumbnail at actual size before publishing.
Series Branding
Same palette, same layout grammar, varying subjects: viewers should recognize your content before reading a word.
