What to study

The title hands his fate to the ship, and nobody knows where it ends up. That open ending is the pull. The photo settles the only doubt worth having, he really is aboard, hard hat on and a working deck stretching behind him.

How the packaging works
Title

Thumbnail

The photo proves he is genuinely on a working cargo ship, not near one.
