Quick Tip
for inspiring an ‘Aha!’ moment

Use one dominant “reveal” moment plus a clear emotional signal:

Color shift: from neutral/dull toward bright/contrasting

Motion: from static confusion toward a decisive action or rapid alignment

Composition: from scattered elements converge toward a center/solution
