Act as a thumbnail art director for [VIDEO_TITLE]. The video actually contains [APPROVED_SUMMARY]. Audience: [AUDIENCE]. Available references: [REFERENCE_FILES_WITH_ROLES]. Brand assets: [APPROVED_LOGOS_AND_COLORS]. Output canvas: 16:9.
Propose three distinct thumbnail concepts. For each, provide the honest click promise, dominant subject, supporting element, composition, lighting, color contrast and optional text of no more than four words. Describe what remains readable when the design is small. Make the thumbnail complement the title.
Select one concept based on clarity and fidelity to the video, without predicting a measured click-through rate. Supply a complete image-generation brief and an attachment order explaining each reference’s authority. Preserve real product appearance and approved character identities. Do not invent famous participants, dramatic events or before-and-after results.
Keep important faces and text comfortably inside the frame. Specify manual placement for exact logos or lettering. Return a brief; do not claim a rendered image. List missing essential references separately before production begins.
