Having second thoughts...

Welcome back!!

So I have been thinking about the table of contents for my magazine and I think that I want to change my idea. I decided that instead of having the vibrant green plants as the background, I think I want to keep the background light. Typically magazines try to keep the backgrounds of the pages as light as possible simply because of the fact that light pages are cheaper to print. I think I am going to follow this typical convention and keep my pages lighter. I have been looking at some more designs of cover pages and I have found some that I am going to use as inspiration to create my very own.

I love the look of this image and that the image itself is the background. I like this because I sometimes feel that when an image is just pasted on top of a background it tends to look messy and not professional. So, I feel that by doing an image as also my background, I can avoid that problem.

Also, because I am doing a beauty magazine, my table of contents will need to be two pages long in order to fit all of my stories. My two pages are going to have different pictures as the background, but the style will still be similar.

I like the way that this page would look with the other one pasted above. I plan on playing around with different combinations of things to photograph. I think I will use roses or some sort of flowers, as well as some unbranded beauty products. I am so excited to work on it!!


So until next time!
