Table of Contents!

Now your'e probably thinking "Table of contents??? What about the cover page??" I haven't finalized the cover page since I'm still testing out various designing softwares to get the perfect layout. I have decided to do some research on the T.O.C (table of contents) and get a better idea of what layout would be clean and aesthetically pleasing. Research shows that most fitness magazines have a two page T.O.C and include pictures of main articles. The typical layout is strict letters and aligned photos as well as the same color scheme as cover page. This gives the table of contents a very rigid feel and boxed-in look. They also include page numbers and a short description of articles. I believe that a more creative and unique T.O.C has a more feminine vibe to it and is easy to follow through. The layout shown to the right is what I would like to accomplish for my magazine. I love the stylistic elements in this T.O.C because it's easy to follow, easy to the eyes, and challenges the normal genre conventions of fitness magazines. Stay tuned!!!!
