Investigative 'Crime Board' YouTube Thumbnail Design
Create a high-engagement investigative YouTube thumbnail mimicking a crime board. Detailed, gritty, and perfect for mystery or breaking news videos.

/imagine prompt: A complex, highly detailed YouTube thumbnail designed as a four-quadrant investigative bulletin board. The background is a texture of aged corkboard and crumpled, pinned documents, all connected by red string and thumbtacks. At the very top, a large, bold, textured headline reads: "FREE WORKFLOW" in a distressed, green, blocky sans-serif font. The four-quadrant grid is constructed with clean white borders: 1. Top-Left Quadrant: Features the text "EPSTEIN FILES" in a dark, stencil-style font. Next to it, a photorealistic black-and-white portrait photo of [SUBJECT_1_NAME] with eyes black-barred. Below the portrait, pinned paper items include a checklist of "KEY EVIDENCE" (with list items like "Flight Logs", "Island Visit") and a handwritten note with the text: "Power. Privilege. Protection. THE TRUTH IS BURIED." An "EVIDENCE" green stamp is visible. 2. Top-Right Quadrant: Features the text "BREAKING NEWS" in a green font. Below it, the text "EXPOSED" in a green font. Next to it, a black-and-white photo of a press conference with several men (eyes black-barred) at microphones. A pinned red note reads "UNDER INVESTIGATION". A checklist of "Secret Meetings" and "Hidden Agendas" is visible. 3. Bottom-Left Quadrant: Features the text "POLICE BARRADE" in a green font. Below it, a black-and-white photo of a police line with riot gear near the US Capitol building. A "RESTRICTED AREA" yellow caution sign and an "ACCESS DENIED" red sign with the text "FOR PUBLIC SAFETY" are prominent. 4. Bottom-Right Quadrant: Features the text "MOGUL EXPOSED" in a green font. Next to it, a large black-and-white portrait of [SUBJECT_2_NAME] (e.g., Elon Musk) looking serious. A red-lined stock chart graph is pinned nearby. A "FEDERAL INVESTIGATION" seal is visible. Pinned notes include "Market Manipulation", "Investors Betrayed", "THE TRUTH MATTERS", and an "X" logo icon. In the exact center of the entire composition, overlaying the grid, is a large, prominent, green rounded rectangular badge. Inside this badge, the text reads: "[VIEWS_COUNT] views" with a white arrow pointing up (e.g., "52M views ↑"). The entire scene has a dark, serious, sepia-toned color palette with vibrant, high-contrast green and red accents for text and highlights. The lighting is moody and directional. --ar 16:9 --v 6.0
