What to study

Curiosity Gap

Both screens look polished but nothing alike, a sign-in page over a café photo and a grid of bold images. So you can't see the trick they share. 'This sh*t works' sounds like a designer's honest reaction, and you want to know why.

How the packaging works
Title

'Any app' tells designers it'll work on their own project, and '10x better' promises a big jump from one small idea.

The censored swear reads like a real reaction rather than a sales line, and laying the text across both phones joins them as two examples of one idea.

Remix this

When your lesson is one idea that shows up in very different places, show two examples that look nothing alike and don't point at the link. Add a short, honest reaction on top rather than a claim.
