For each: 2-to-4 word overlay text in ALL CAPS (no full sentences), the facial expression or main subject, the background contrast idea, and the one element creating tension or curiosity. Text must be readable at phone size. The thumbnail text must NOT repeat the title word-for-word; it should complete it.
