Okay,

Firstly looking at your channel description, you've put "I make comedic animation and some... weird stuff." which is okay but you could expand on this a little as it would make it look like some effort was put in there. Your channel art is great and fits the theme of your channel (nothing bad to say about that). Your content is pretty creative and is definitely will attract new viewers the only advice I give is to improve the view quality as time goes on to show that you are dedicated to the channel even more. Your video descriptions could use some work, you could set a default description to have social links and more details on the animation itself. The last thing I think needs improving is the thumbnails, while they are okay I think a little branding on personal style of thumbnail would make more people watch the videos.

I hope this helps :)

Thank you.

Firstly I looked at your channel description and I'm happy to say its detailed enough to give an impression of what you do and your upload schedule for new visitors to see. Your avatar is good and suits the channel name but I feel your banner could use some work. I would have the "Uploads every tuesday and thursday" removed from the banner and then the rest of the banner brightened up just a little as it's hard for someone like me (partially colour blind) to see the text. Your channel front page layout could be improved a little with some more sections just to make it a little more appealing. Your content to me was good and your audio quality is great. your video descriptions are also good but you could have some social links to boost your social media. Finally for the thumbnails you have a mixture of different designs I like you most recent video thumbnail the most out of the lot and you do have branding on the thumbnail but for me its obscured but the video timer, try moving it to another corner and moving the "episode # - Text" up a little to make it so it can be read over the video timer.

I hope this helps :)

could you do my channel?

Here's your feedback

To start I looked at your home page layout and channel trailer video. Your layout is content rich and does a good job of showing what your channel is about and what you post on it. as for the trailer it isn't a trailer really I'd recommend making a short 30 second to a minute video just explaining what your channel is about. Next I looked at your channel content and picked a few videos at random. your batman series could use a little more spoken word that it has but it good quality and your WWE content felt a tad bland and could be expanded on better.

Now for channel artwork I'd say there can be a large improvement here. Your banner is cutoff by YouTube and is a bad quality. I suggest you get a image editing program that can do layers (such as paint.net) and smooth out the banner, I'd also suggest using this to get a full size banner image to start with. your logo text is way to small to read. If you're going to have text in your logo it should be leg-able on your channel. As for your thumbnails they aren't bad but some channel branding could be added to make the thumbnail stand out and the text could be moved up a little on the thumbnails to avoid be covered up by the video time overlay.

Finally you channel description and social links. your description is a tad basic but does explain why you make videos. I'd add a little extra explaining any upload scheduales you may have e.t.c. As for social links you could have a facebook page and twitter account for your channel to allow views to interact with others and share your videos which will help get additional exposure to your content.

I'm always honest on here :), here's your feedback

Starting with your homepage layout you could maybe create playlists based on what genre of music you make and have them in sections on the front page. I just feel it would make your homepage that bit more interesting to look at. You could also consider adding a 30 second to 1 min trailer about what you create for new viewers of your channel to look at. Now looking at you channel art I Fell there is a mix of old and new here. you avatar doesn't match in style to your banner which puts me off a bit. I like the avatar but I would just have the "M" in as the avatar and have it fill the avatar as it looks really good and makes it easy to spot in a crowd. As for the banner you could updated it to match you avatar. (however if you want to keep that one I'd keep the rainbow going throughout the banner to make it seem fluent.

Moving onto your content. I like the music you make, its nice and soothing, I would consider getting rid of the watermarks in the video's which is generated by the capture somewhere your using. your thumbnails could be a fair bit more enticing. I thing the thumbnails from videos like "Before the storm" & "Let the snow fall" are really got and professional but I feel your latest once aren't as good but a long shot. I recommend working on these more.

As for your description and social links. Your description could be improved vastly to tell users what you make and any kind of schedule or times you release videos to let users know for future reference. Finally your social links are good but the artwork could be the same all over so user will recognize that its you over all social media.

Hello, here your feedback on your channel;

Starting with your homepage layout, your layout is pretty good though I would consider moving the tutorial playlist section to be under the uploads as it would make it visible early on for new views rather than having them scroll down. you could consider having a trailer of sorts showing what you make in a montage of sorts just to entice new views to subscribe. Now looking at your channel art your avatar isn't terrible but I'd consider either brightening the text for making the background darker s people such as I who have a form of colour blindness struggle to read the text. your banner is okay though I consider removing the diamond armor on the right as it shows a lack of effort on that bit.

As for your content, it isn't bad but some improvements could be made. I watched your two latest video's and they felt a tad bland. While your editing is pretty good with the overlays showing what the user needs to make the build they could be more exact to say how much they need of each item. The music is okay is its loud enough but on the tutorial for a stable it seems to be too quite and I got distracted but other things too easily. Maybe consider doing commentary or voice over to make it more interesting. Moving to your thumbnails your two latest thumbnails are great and work with the theme of the channel but try to keep it constant throughout the channel as a template.

Finally onto your description and social links. your description could be improved to include a bit more detail on what you create and any upload schedules you have so views can know when to expect content from you. As for your social links you could make a dedicated twitter account for your channel and connect to your fans that way rather than linking it to your personal account.
