YouTube Thumbnail Designer – Investment & Data Analysis

I am looking for an elite Graphic Designer to handle the
"packaging" for a new, high-end YouTube channel focused on global investment
analysis and economics.

Our target audience consists of high-net-worth, mature professionals. We are NOT
looking for "typical" YouTube thumbnails with shocked faces, red circles, or
loud/messy layouts. We are looking for an authoritative, minimalist, and
cinematic aesthetic. Think The Wall Street Journal meets Bloomberg.

Your Responsibilities:

- Subject Isolation: Masking out complex subjects (assets, architecture, data
points) to make them pop against a background.
- High-Contrast Typography: Using clean, bold, and professional fonts that are
perfectly legible on mobile devices.
- Visual Psychology: Using specific color theory (Navy, Gold, High-Contrast
Grays) to signal trust and authority.
- Branding: Maintaining a 100% consistent layout across all uploads.

What We Offer:

- Rate: $10 USD per thumbnail.
- Workflow: I provide the high-res "hero" image and the specific data hook.
You provide the creative execution.
- Consistency: This is a long-term role with 1-2 thumbnails required every
week.

How to Apply:

1. Send a link to your portfolio. IMPORTANT: Only include examples of
thumbnails or posters that look professional, clean, and data-focused. (Do
not send gaming, anime, or "vlog" style thumbnails).
2. Tell me your favorite font for high-readability on small screens.
3. Start your application with the word "LEDGER" so I know you read this.

Note: Shortlisted candidates with a proven track record will be invited to a
paid trial task.
