Planning #3-Contents template

Today, I also chose to create my template for the table of contents using Adobe In Design. I chose to keep my simplistic theme, as I want this magazine to be classic yet modern, and therefore chose to keep the font I had chosen for the cover, and use it for the title, "Contents" as well as the subtitles. However, I will use a different font for the explanations of the articles in order to create a sense of variety and create a more appealing effect. Moreover, I will place two pictures on the contents page, with the smaller and shorter picture under the word contents, with a larger and longer picture to the right of it. Also, I may add in other small pictures that correlate to the articles next to the article description. I chose to separate the contents page into the articles that are on the cover, the featured articles/second most important, and then others. By doing so, the reader will be able to determine which section is more interesting to them, and chose an article within that section. This will make the magazine more reader-friendly while remaining professional looking.

Final Submission

I didn't choose to change anything about my cover, because I am content with the layout of it, as well as the color scheme. I didn't change anything from the 3rd quarter submission for my contents page. I chose to make the text wrap around my pictures, and centered the picture on the right in the middle of the text, as well as add branding on the bottom of the page for our website and social media.

Production #4-Article

Today I was also able to complete my article pages. I chose to incorporate the same border I used on the contents page in order to create a sense of cohesiveness. Furthermore, I made the background a pale blue color to match the sky in the first picture on the article, and chose to make the font black, since it's classic and simple. I made the article title a bigger font size than the actual article, as that's how most, if not all, magazine are. I also chose to make the name of the interviewee the largest to represent that she is the main point of discussion in the article. On the second page I chose a quote that Kailyn said and chose to enlarge and and place a picture next to it, similar to an article I saw in InStyle magazine. This helps to draw attention to the importance of the quote, as well as show a picture of Kailyn dressed casually, which she explained during our interview is her favorite style.
