17:20I Tried To Build My Own Cloud And Cancel EVERY Subscription
Save referenceDesired Outcome
The PC tower sits on a real-looking cloud, a joke that makes 'your own cloud' easy to picture. Next to it, Netflix, Spotify and Google Drive are struck through. 'I Tried' and 'EVERY' leave it open whether one box can really replace all of them.
'I Tried' makes it an experiment that might fail, and 'EVERY Subscription' sets a goal so big viewers want to see how far it gets.
The strikethroughs look hand-drawn, like crossing items off a list, and the bright blue sky makes the black tower stand out even at feed size.
When your topic has a jargon word with an everyday meaning, like cloud, show it literally. Pair the joke image with the familiar things you're replacing, crossed out, and frame the title as an honest attempt.
Show the jargon word literally, and cross out what it replaces.
Apply this pattern to your next video.
Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
