Designing product packaging in 5 minutes!

What to study

Desired Outcome

  • The before is the plain label a beginner might make, and the after looks ready for a supermarket shelf.
  • The title says it took five minutes, which seems too quick for that jump, so you click to see what changed.
How the packaging works
Title

'In 5 minutes' makes a big jump in quality sound quick enough to learn, and 'product packaging' tells designers exactly which job this is.

Thumbnail

The same name on both jars shows it's one product redesigned, and the after is twice the size with a glow, so it simply looks worth more.

Remix this

When you teach a skill with a visible end product, show the same item before and after with the name kept the same. Make the after bigger and brighter, and put the short time in the title.

Ask your own AI chat for titles and thumbnail ideas for your video, using the psychology behind this one.
