CHANNEL NOTE · 01Can we all fit inside that little circle?

First, the profile image. We showed our favorite shot to an AI tool and asked, ‘Can you make sure all three faces still show inside a small circle?’ A simple square crop would have cut off the faces at the edges, so we pulled the faces toward the center and left some breathing room around them.

On YouTube, a profile picture can appear really small. That made one thing more useful than cramming in extra detail: shrink it first and check whether you can still tell who’s in it. We checked the channel, and all three of us made it in.

CHANNEL NOTE · 02We made a huge banner. Why does it show only our faces?

Next came the long picture at the top of the channel. Starting with our group photo, we added the clubroom mood and some snacks. AI helped us identify what each screen might cut off, which made getting started easier. But numbers alone weren’t enough: a TV, computer, and phone each show a different part of the same image.

CHANNEL NOTE · 03We’re still choosing a tiny watermark

We couldn’t ignore the little watermark in the corner of each video. We asked AI for ‘a Snackgirls mark that still reads at a tiny size’ and made three options: a round badge with our faces, sticker-like faces, and a simple SG wordmark.

The profile and banner are live; we’re still picking the watermark. For the channel description, we wrote down what we wanted to say first, then asked AI to smooth out the parts that felt too long or stiff. ‘Red, Kirari, and Nea collect the moments they’ve tried themselves and want to remember on video.’ That’s the idea: we’ll keep adding things we’ve actually done, one clip at a time.

CHANNEL NOTE · 04Starting with Nea’s Switch 2 recordings

For now, the channel mainly has game footage Nea captured while playing on her Switch 2. There are boss fights where she panicked and cinematic moments too good to skip. If you want her first story, start with the Onimusha: Way of the Sword mid-game review!

We aren’t stopping there. We’d like to bring more of the things the three of us love into video. Our next challenge is making a thumbnail for each video ourselves! Even one channel banner had different crops on different screens. I can’t wait to see what video thumbnails make us think about next.

CHANNEL NOTE · 05We added doors at the bottom of our website, too

Oh, and we put channel icons in the WordPress footer so they’re easy to find: Instagram, NAVER Blog, Threads, and YouTube. Scroll down after an article and you’ll spot all four. Here’s a screenshot from the site right now!

Here, we also added Red’s WordPress site to make five little shortcuts.
