Table of Contents: 1st Draft

In class, we began finalizing and making our own table of contents. A table of contents helps readers navigate a magazine by providing a list of articles and their page numbers. It saves time and makes finding specific content easier. Down below are two of my best drafts I created.

This TOC is my favorite. I created this with the app Canva. With about 12 articles, this table of contents just looks visually pleasing in my opinion. I first began with brainstorming with a format, and I came up with having a picture of one of the articles with where to find it on the left side, and hen the rest of the articles on the right of it, and two of the most important ones on the top grey area.

This is my second option for my table of contents. It is not my best, but it is my backup. I like the combination of colors here though, along with the "Exclusive". I also used Canva for this one. Here, there are two main pictures being shown, one which was already used and an add-on of a painting, which was hard to use because no color pf the letters fit, so they are hard to see. Also, the number of the articles are yellow in comparison to the first.

Overall, It is evident the first one is better in my opinion. The colors match better, because of the gray, black, and white combinations. When compared to the second one, the first one is a bit more organized.
