Thumbnail Research + Development

The presentation below contains the Thumbnail Research for our documentary project.

I also did some of my own research on crime documentary thumbnails below prior to the making of the presentation above.


The purpose of thumbnails is to show the audience a glimpse of what the documentaries are about, which in this case are all related to crime.

What stands out from the image above is the constant use of bold fonts, which conveys that the crimes are big and daring.

I personally like the thumbnail of A Deadly American Marriage the most.




I've chosen these 3 thumbnails to analyse.


The color is bland and gloomy, conveying that something isn't right.

The image shows a couple's marriage, but they look eerily unhappy in the picture.

The font is large, bold, and in all capital, hinting at a bold crime that had taken place.



The color is dark blue, adding a layer of mystery and eeriness for the audience.

The image shows a missing person paper floating in a rocky sea, and a cruise ship in the background. These hints tell the audience a bit of where it might've taken place.

The font is bold, clear, and in all capital, hinting at a mystery-packed documentary that the audience will surely enjoy.



The color is dark and shadowy, prompting the audience to feel uneasy and threatened.

The image shows the silhouette of a mugshot of a woman, blended together with an image of a man's silhouette in front of a door. This image, paired with the title, gives the impression that the man entering the room is about to commit a crime against the woman.

The font is white, clear, and in all capital, suggesting the documentary will showcase bold stories of relationship-related crimes.
