I Dared A Shy DJ To Perform For 15,000 People

What to study

Stakes & Tension

A shy person would dread playing to ten people, never mind 15,000. He stands at the decks, head down, hand on the back of his neck, like he wants to leave. You click to see if he freezes or pulls it off.

How the packaging works
Title

'Dared' makes it a challenge with a real chance of failure, and 'Shy' next to '15,000 People' puts the weakest fit and the biggest stage in one line.

Thumbnail

The yellow 'Shy' and red arrow label him so you read his body language right, and the crowd filling the whole background shows the size of what he's facing.

Remix this

If your challenge pairs someone with the thing they fear most, label their weakness in the thumbnail and show them with the fear right behind them. Put the dare and its size in the title.
