I bought the most MINIMALIST Tech ever.

What to study

Desired Outcome

  • Minimalist promises calm, and the layout delivers it before you read the title.
  • Each gadget gets its own space on a plain gray wall, laid out like a tidy drawer.
  • Arun's relaxed smile and clasped hands sell contentment rather than shock.
How the packaging works
Title

'Minimalist' is a home and lifestyle word, so it reaches people who want calmer spaces as well as gadget fans.

Thumbnail

The yellow Playdate is the brightest spot among a black Balmuda kettle, a navy laptop and pale wood, and the space around each object reads as calm.

Remix this

When your title's key word describes a feeling or style, make the layout look like it. For calm, give each object its own space on a plain background and swap the shocked face for a relaxed one.
