What you will get

A square episode cover template with a large circle for the guest’s photo, a bold title area in the lower third, a gradient background with soft sound-wave lines and a small logo in one corner.

Common mistake

The photo circle is too small or off-centre.

Fix: Ask for “the circle fills about half the width, centred slightly above the middle”. You will use the same template each week.

Also watch for

The podcast name is misspelt. Use a short name in quotes and check it. Add the exact text in an editor if any letter fails.
Text is hard to read against the gradient. Ask for “white or very dark text with a subtle shadow, high contrast against the background”.

Try a variation: video podcast thumbnail

Ask for a 16:9 version with the guest circle on the right and the title on the left, for use as a YouTube thumbnail.

Still not right? Reply with this

Keep the same template. Make the title area taller, simplify the sound-wave lines and leave the guest circle empty.
