Also the books he is holding shows that not only that he is happy but also learning. Also from knew student having a law book will show that there are a lot more opportunities in college than school life.
The colours on the front of the magazine contrast to each other attracting the audience. The bright pink part will instantly draw your eye and attract the reader. Aspects on the front shows what content is inside letting the audience know what they’re buying. The blackberry reaches to the target audience of teenager’s with technology.
