     The spreads used in Kiplinger's magazines have very useful information that elaborates in great detail on how to manage and control your magazine while at the same time it shows a very colorful and cartoon type of drawing which further helps reader understand how to manage their finances as well. By constantly changing the picture in each page to something more interesting or entertaining the Kiplinger magazine effectively maintains the attention of the reader and the pictures also serve to in having a way to express topics that are generally boring and makes them suddenly interesting and easy to understand. The Kiplinger magazine has a general style of how the magazine is designed and it all follows the same format. A white page, a large picture, and a sans serif font with the lettering. They all have the main cover line in bold which puts emphasis on that particular issue as well. I will try to have this type of uniformity in my magazine to pay homage to the greatness of kiplinger. All in all the spreads used by kiplinger tend to be simple: white background, large photo (cartoon style or realistic) and a prolific amount of useful of information. The fonts are simple and I would like to change that in my own magazine.

           When creating my spread I waned to translate the many ideas that I used when designing my cover so I decided to maintain the same fonts as before, Because of this the main heading of my spread used the blush script font that can be compared to a type of cursive which conveys the idea of a fancy type of writing that is comparable to a some sort of extravagance. In addition to that i would made the font of the regular writing the font Franklin Gothic which is big and easy to use which was important because that is the main section that my readers would be drawn to. I decided that my spread would discuss real estate as that is a topic that interested me when i mentioned it in a previous blog post.

The tips found in my spread are the same tips that could be used by anyone when it comes to owning a house that has value and class, The pictures come f...

Table of Contents

 In the creative process of designing the table of contents I heavily relied on Kiplinger's magazine and how they would design their table of contents. For the most part, Kiplinger magazine has a very minimalist designing method. They use a blank white background and generally only include one picture in the contents. To add color some of the sub headings are marked with a different color. In addition their table of contents only spawn one page. With all of this being said, it can be concluded that kiplinger has a relativity simple structure. Since my magazine "Financial Affairs" draws heavy influence from kiplinger in many aspects it would only make the sense to have similar, but not the same, type of table of contents. Example of Kiplinger's table of contents  One of the main aspects of creating a table of contents like this would be the section of a photograph that can sell my magazine. All of the pictures that Kiplinger used were picture that stood out w...
