Magazine Table of Contents Design Template

For our table of contents, we wanted to make sure it went along with those of other magazines in the genre. We noticed that most table of contents had pictures at the top and then the titles with page numbers in a multi-column format. Usually they were arranged in two to three columns which look nice and neat and organized. The font was usually pretty simple and easy to read but it was almost always colored. One was pink while some others were blue and some black. It was more common to see colored text than just plain black. It made the page look organized and full rather than white and empty. For our table of contents, we decided to put the "Table of Contents" at the top of the page in the same Pristina font that we used for the title of the magazine. We laid it out so that the letters would be a color with a different colored outline. We also added some word are so that the title would look more artistic. We decided that the colors will go along with the pictures and issue of the magazine so we just left them pretty simple and easy. Below the title we left some room for a few pictures. In the magazines we looked at, their pictures were usually edited to look like they were an actual piece of paper rather than being even and smooth with the background. They would be turned and rotated and some even had boarders to add interest to the page. This goes along with our "craft" theme so we decided that we could maybe do that for our pictures. Below that we made three columns. Each will have a different title such as cooking, crafts, and gardening but can be subject to change deepening on the issue of the magazine. While doing this we also decided to use the same stencil font for these columns. This keep the magazine looking uniform and neat but stencil is also the perfect font because it is easy to read, bold, and looks "crafty." I contributed the layout of the page, the font choices, and i created the page on the computer.
