The Table of Contents #2
Some changes to the table of contents that I based off mine would be a tag on the upper right of the page. I did contemplate on whether or not to do so; however, I felt as this tag was redundant and not useful to my audience at all. Not only that but it would have made it a predicament for me to plop my other image if this tag was created. Also, I decided to brand the table of contents by putting my magazine's title and issue date because I believed that this feature is necessary to keep the continuity in check; this feature was implemented in the feature spread so it has to be implemented on every page including the table of contents. Because I did not add a tag on the top right and most tables of contents in my genre have an individual in a suit as an image, I put an image from one of my photo-shoots of this young lady on the top right. This image was not aligned to what I felt would look best, so I flipped it over a horizontal axis to get the look I wanted. This image impl...
The Table of Contents #1
The creation of my table of contents I had to come up with ideas that not only fit the genre but also fell in line with other magazines in the genre. The table of contents I based mine off had aspects that I liked and contained various features that I felt comfortable mimicking for my table of contents. The entire creation of my magazine I wanted to make it simple and easy to read, which must magazines in my genre follow this pattern. I went with black and white font since these colors are easy to read and are visible to the reader while letting the reader see the background/ image I used for the table contents page. Mimicking the red bar, I wanted it to be included in my design because I see it symbolizing power, a quirk that entrepreneurs need to have to actually persist in their line of work. Since I had done a photo-shoot that took place at the beach, I felt as if it was a distinct feature that should cover up the entire page. This image conveys a sense of relief or...
My Magazine's Feature Spread
With these changes and alterations with ideas, my completed feature spread was created:
The Feature Spread #2
Now, my spread contains several aspects that I have not mentioned in my previous post that I will mention now. One major aspect of the feature spreads in the genre that I researched contained an image revolving the cover, which may feature spread has as well, and the feature spread’s actual bulk- the actual article- was wrapped around the picture. Usually, the words wrapped around the image on the image’s right side and not the left, one side only. This feature is also in my spread since it can be generalized to my specific genre. The genre that I researched also had drop caps within their feature spreads, so I decided that it was necessary for my feature spread to have one as well. Since the business genre usually had spreads that contained font, which was black, the color for my font would also be black. After a little thought, it does make some sense that this genre would consider only black within a spread because it is easy to read with a white background, which most spre...
