How the Super Bowl Really Works

What to study

Scale & Specificity

Most fans see the Super Bowl as one big game, so a figure with nine zeros says it's really a business. Showing every zero makes it feel bigger than '1.3 billion'. The stadium is cut open, but what the number counts isn't said.

How the packaging works
Title

'Really' tells fans the game they watch on TV is only the front of something bigger, which sets up the money and the cutaway.

Thumbnail

The stadium cut open like an architect's model promises a look inside, and the full row of zeros above it is the first thing that reads at feed size.

Remix this

When your topic is something familiar people never see behind, show it cut open and put its biggest number above it with every zero. Let the title promise how it really works.
