The main image is of a rapper, which is a good choice as many of the college students as they are young and trendy would have heard of him, so with him being on the front cover it will get the chosen audience’s attention when they see it on the shelf. The colours of the clothes that he is wearing are used in the actual colour scheme itself. The colours are white and black. Also because the image is of a trendy person, so the layout and text of the front cover looks trendy and young to reflect on the image and appeal to the chosen audience.
