Jollof Theory West African Cooking Thumbnails
A set of three 1280x720 YouTube thumbnails on a warm saffron ground with a big drawn indigo cooking pot heaped with vermilion jollof rice, scattered grains, bay leaves and cream steam curls, and a vertical indigo adire eleko band down the left edge with cream concentric medallions, lozenges and dot rows. A chunky Caprasimo two-word headline in deep indigo with a cream offset shadow sits to the right under a Host Grotesk series line, with page 2 switching the ground to warm cream and page 3 going text-free with the pot centred, for a warm, festive and proudly Nigerian food channel look.

How to make it yours
- Start with the largest text, the "Headline shadow" layer set in Caprasimo, and swap in your own words.
- Then rewrite "Headline" (Caprasimo) and "Series and episode" (Host Grotesk) with your details.
- There are no photos to replace, the design is built from type and shapes.
- Change the background from #f4b53f to your own colour, then recolour the accents in #f3e6cc and #f6904a.
- Keep the 3 pages you need, duplicate the ones you want more of and delete the rest.
- Export a PNG to post, or a PDF if you need one.
