You Will Want Barefoot Shoes After Watching This… My 5 Year Journey

What to study

Curiosity Gap

  • The shoe sole and her bare sole sit side by side with almost the same wide shape.
  • Five years of wear is written on her actual foot.
  • The image is odd enough to stop you, and the title bets it will convert you.
How the packaging works
Title

The title makes a bold conversion promise backed by a five-year journey.

Thumbnail

The close-up pairs the shoe sole with her matching bare sole as evidence.

Remix this

Use this when years of practice have left visible evidence on you or your work. Put the evidence up against the camera, even if it looks odd. A confident title claim works because the proof is on screen.
