The Newbie initiative is still ongoing, and today I bring to you my 5th task counting from the onset of the program.
This task is based on the use of Canva for creating thumbnails for our content on Hive.
Before I go any further, I would like to express my gratitude to 
My partner for this task is 
as to have access to good templates and graphics.
A thumbnail is a brief pictorial representation of our article. It is a small image attached to an article/post to attract viewers' attention and provide a visual summary of the article's content.
A thumbnail has to be stunning to capture people's attention and escalate their interest in our post.
A stunning thumbnail gives our potential readers a good impression of our content.
A good and truthful thumbnail can increase views & votes on our content, and followers on hive.
A โstunning and truthfulโ thumbnail contains real and sufficient information on what is in the article. It should be enticing as well as give your readers an idea of what they are about reading.
The general and most preferable dimensions for a thumbnail are 1280 x 720 pixels.
The reason is to ensure optimal and clear visibility of our thumbnail designs.

1) Download and open Canva app in your phone/Pc
2) Search for YouTube thumbnails or any satisfiable design.
3) Choose your favorite from one of the several thumbnails
4) Use the plus (+) icon to edit your designs. All other design elements are listed for users as shown in the photo.
5) Click on the download icon and choose JPG format, then click on final download. It will be automatically downloaded to your device .
The jpg format should be my preferred export format because it takes minimum storage space and requires less data to download.
That is all for today, thank you very much for stopping by๐ค.
