What Does The Tour de France Do To The Human Body?

What to study

Expectation Violation

These legs are covered in raised veins and hard muscle, and they barely look human. The title asks what the Tour de France does to the body, and INHUMAN answers in one word. The legs show the effect, so you click for what's behind it.

How the packaging works
Title

'The Human Body' makes it about everyone's body, not just racers, which widens the pull beyond cycling fans to anyone curious about extreme sport.

Thumbnail

The Tour's yellow fills the background, so cycling fans know the race at a glance, and cropping to just the legs makes the veins the whole story.

Remix this

When your topic changes the body or an object in a visible way, crop tight on the most extreme example and add one word that names the reaction. Use the colour your audience links to the event as the background.
