What to study

Curiosity Gap

Nine items for any trip sounds impossible, and the image makes it worse by pointing at a perfectly ordinary packing cube. Whatever most people miss is sitting right there and you cannot see it. That itch is the click.

How the packaging works
Title

The title makes a specific bold promise with a number that seems too small.

Thumbnail

The thumbnail points at an ordinary cube and insists you are missing something.

Remix this

When your method looks ordinary in a photo, point at it and say most people miss it. The gap between plain image and bold claim does the work. The trick must genuinely surprise or the click feels cheated.
