The Rise & Fall of Under Armour

What to study

Curiosity Gap

The picture tells a brutal story, as rival trainers sit in lit glass cases while Under Armour's fill a bin. You want to know what went that wrong. The image text then repeats the title word for word, wasting its best surface.

How the packaging works
Title

The title promises the full arc, the rise and the fall, without saying why.

Thumbnail

Shoes in a bin among rivals' glass display cases show the fall in one glance, though the text repeats the title.

Remix this

When you tell a fall-from-grace story, build one picture that shows the fall beside the winners. Let the visual carry the verdict and give the text a different job.

The transferable lesson

Show the verdict visually, withhold the cause.

What to avoid copying

The image text copies the title exactly. The bin metaphor already tells the story, so the words are wasted.
