What to study

Expectation Violation

The tower looks like it is breaking apart, which your brain refuses to accept. You check the second photo to confirm the whole building really stands that way. A structure that seems to glitch in real life demands a second look, and the click follows.

How the packaging works
Title

The title promises a whole list of buildings this strange.

Thumbnail

The thumbnail shows one glitching tower from two angles as proof.

Remix this

If you teach with visuals, lead with your strangest real example rather than a typical one. When the image alone makes people ask how that can exist, your title only needs to promise more of the same.
