INSIGHT

Biblical Basis For Judging Appearance

  • 1 Samuel 16 shows people judge by outward appearance while God judges the heart.
  • Graham uses that to explain why humans value visible credibility before substance.
ADVICE

Optimize Visuals For Fast Judgments

  • Improve thumbnails and camera presentation because viewers make snap judgments visually.
  • Graham recommends clean contrast, good lighting, and simple backgrounds to reduce friction.
ADVICE

Prioritize Audio And Lighting

  • Ensure professional presentation: good lighting, quality audio, and clean thumbnails.
  • Use natural light when possible and a close dedicated microphone for clearer perceived quality.
