What to study

Curiosity Gap

If you take the bus, you probably check a board like this and trust it without a thought. Luke's delighted face and the arrow turn it into a puzzle. Is it GPS, a timetable or a guess? You click to find out.

Below this channel's typical views. Included as a creative reference.

How the packaging works
Title

'Your bus' puts every regular bus user in the title, and 'actually' hints that the real answer isn't the one you'd assume.

The arrow gives 'this' a clear target, the orange countdown board, and Luke's wide-eyed sideways look shows the kind of nerdy delight regulars come to him for.

Remix this

When your audience uses something daily without knowing how it works, show the thing itself with an arrow and a short question about it. Let the title make it personal with 'your'.
