A red line climbs and then dives beside a face known for flaunting money. The chart turns a rich man's whole life into one falling shape. Dishonest in the title adds a charge to answer, so the click is watching the fall explained.
How the packaging works
Title
The title accuses as well as promises, framing the fall as deserved.
Thumbnail
The crashing line gives the whole story its shape in one glance.
Remix this
Use a simple rise-and-fall line when your story is a downfall. One chart shape tells the arc faster than any sentence. It needs a subject viewers already associate with success, or the fall means nothing.
The transferable lesson
A falling chart is a whole story in one shape.
