What to study

Curiosity Gap

The title claims a fall, and the thumbnail quietly shows what was lost, as the ghostly faces behind him are the films a generation grew up loving. He stands alone in the middle looking ordinary. You click to learn how that gap happened.

How the packaging works
Title

The title makes the fall claim in four blunt words.

Thumbnail

The thumbnail ghosts his beloved characters behind him, showing the peak the title says he fell from.

Remix this

Use this when you explain a rise or fall. Put the person in front of faded images of their best work, so the distance between then and now becomes something viewers can see.
