18:11Restoring a Neglected Chinese Juniper Bonsai
Save referenceDesired Outcome
The finished tree fills the frame because the finished tree is the sell. The scraggly before sits small in the corner, just big enough to prove the change. In a craft this visual, how good the result looks decides the click.
Title
The title frames the video as the rescue of a neglected tree.
Thumbnail
The thumbnail gives the stunning finished bonsai the frame, with a small before inset and arrow.
If your craft produces something beautiful, give the result most of the frame and shrink the before to a corner inset. The after earns the click. The before only proves it was earned.
In visual crafts, result quality is the click.
