Responsive counterweight tutorials
I recently worked on some thumbnail images to be used in Doc Pop’s YouTube channel for his Responsive Counterweight Tutorials. I had no previous knowledge of yo-yo tricks, but I was guided by Doc Pop’s own color palette, and his history of also making hip-hop and electronic music. I felt the best style that fit needed to be instructional in nature , not only illustrating each trick with one iconic still frame, but also easy to understand if one happened to be standing very far away from the monitor. In all, I finished up 13 different thumbnail images.
Here are some sketches of the introduction video, as well as some thumb sketches for Maintenance, Toss Up, and Pull Start thumbnails.
Here are the final versions of those thumbnails:
