Today in class I decided to start playing around with different table of contents layouts. A lot of my inspiration is coming from magazines with very simplistic layouts as I don't want anything that is too crowded. Within my TOC I am also going to continue with my green, earthy type theme.
Also, because I am doing a beauty magazine, I am going to have a lot of titles that I am going to put in my TOC, since beauty magazines are typically longer publications.
This is the layout that I started to play around with. I put the background in place until I take my own picture, but I think that I am going to want to take a picture that looks very similar to this. I like this simplistic look of the large page number with the title and description of the story. I also made the number 20 in black and put a little clover next to it to help identify that it is the cover story of the issue. I think I am going to continue with a couple more stories on this page and I am also going to make a TOC page two with the rest of the stories.
So far, I really like how this TOC looks. It matches the earthy theme that I have going on throughout my magazine, as well as the simplicity. I really just have to make sure that I can get a picture that looks amazing since it is very showing throughout the page.
I think that I am going to go to Home Depot and ask if I can take some pictures of some of the plants that they have there. I feel that if I take them there they will be clean and nice, and there are more options of different plants that I can take pictures of.
So, I think I am moving in the right direction with the TOC and I can't wait to finish it!
So until next time!
XOXO, Sophie
