Analysis

A black dancing figure holds a white iPod on a yellow field. The white cable keeps the product visible within the silhouette.

Why it worked

The dancer communicates the music experience without a feature list. The white device and cable provide a consistent product cue.

Lesson

Choose one visible product detail that remains clear in a simplified image.
