What to study

Curiosity Gap

Dog owners want to know if their breed is on the list. The dogs are blacked out, but you can still make out a curly poodle and a shepherd's pointed ears. You start guessing and can't be sure, so you click to check.

How the packaging works
Title

'NO Dog Trainer' makes it an admission from inside the job, since trainers are meant to like every dog, and it hints your breed might be one they quietly avoid.

Red crosses over dark outlines hide the breeds but keep their shapes, and Tom's chin-on-fist look says he has opinions about every one of them.

Remix this

When your list names things viewers own or might buy, black each one out but keep its outline. People will try to guess from the shape, and viewers who think they spot their own will click to check.
