Rahwan is a design channel of Photoshop posters and YouTube thumbnails, shared with a 'drop your thoughts' or a 'show some love'. In August 2026 it launched a site collecting its thumbnail work, then added a dark/light toggle and a profile section days later. It also likes to pull other designers in, from a phone-and-PC customization challenge to the Ethiopic Micrographics trend.
- The channel has posted every week for 19 weeks in a row.
- Lately it averages 39.1 posts a week.
- Its most-used word is design.
The journey.

Back With Manipulations
The channel returned in January 2025 with a run of manipulations, including a recreated Free Fire cover poster. By September it was trying Figma for design presentations and finding it fast. In October it looked back at an April 2025 supercar composite built from 4 stock images.

Thumbnail Summer
After a quiet stretch, July 2026 brought the MAD design, made while the channel was away, and the Ethiopic Micrographics trend. A hand-made thumbnail redesign for the Software Guy podcast followed, and in August the channel launched its thumbnail designs collection site. It also streamed a Spider-Man poster made in pure Photoshop.
