The quote marks make the title the viewer's own sentence, spoken in their head at 2am. The whiteboard answers it with two words, step by step, while keeping every actual step hidden. The raised hand reads as, stop panicking, there is a plan.
How the packaging works
Title
The quoted title voices the viewer's own late-night worry.
Thumbnail
The near-empty whiteboard promises a plan while hiding every step of it.
Remix this
If you serve people in a painful spot, quote their exact words as the title. Then show that a plan exists, a board or a list, without letting one step of it be readable.
The transferable lesson
Quote the viewer's pain; show the plan exists, hidden.
