Wild cockatoos lounging at a steaming barrel is a picture that should not exist, which is the charm. The heated water label does real work, steam alone could read as cold mist. The wine glass beside the tub pushes the joke one notch further.
How the packaging works
Title
The title promises a build so odd you want to see it used.
Thumbnail
The photo shows real birds enjoying it, with the invisible heat labelled.
Remix this
When the payoff of your build is invisible, temperature, speed, softness, label it plainly in the image. Use this on any project where the photo cannot prove the feature.
The transferable lesson
Label invisible features the camera cannot prove.
