The pattern

This still is filed under Iconic figure claim.

Define

A single figure, drawn, silhouetted, or posed, is the whole claim. You can read it across a street.

Mechanism

Compression into a body. The figure is not decoration. It is the sentence. Distance-legibility is the test.

Verdict

Poster scale, outdoor, packaging at a glance

Why it works

It uses hyperbole ('a child can use it') visually demonstrated by a charming illustration. The short, rhyming poem on the back makes the core benefit ('You needn't boil, nor toil, nor scrub') highly memorable.

Steal this when

You want to emphasize extreme ease-of-use by showing someone who conventionally shouldn't be able to do the task easily succeeding at it.
