Comparing the table of contents

 ''
     The table of contents of Kiplinger is designed in a creative way that shows an organized form of how a magazine should be designed. The table of contents is set up in way in which there is one main picture usually centered towards the middle of the page that displays individuals living a lavish or fortunate life of wealth. this detail is significant to me as a consumer due to the fact that a lifestyle full of economic stability is extremely desirable and Kiplinger makes no excuse on making sure that the reader see that.. the first magazine being analyzed is the "money money moves" table of contents and that features two older individuals carrying a a dog of an exotic breed and for the most part they look like they are enjoying a vacation.The second magazine "income for life: has a cheerful woman carrying lemons and is dressed in good looking fashion. The last magazine table of contents is from "Where to invest: and that shows a couple dressed very formally and sharp enjoying a romantic vacation from home. All three pictures used show where good investment and reliable finance can take you.
     The table of contents used in all three magazine only utilize one page to display it. Not only that, but only one picture is used in it as well. The image is usually at the top of the page and the text is right under it. The text is organized in columns that contain a title on the top which explains what that particular section is about. These tittles usually come in a wide array of colors which catch the readers attention and can be seen through out all three magazines. The text write under t is written in a sans serif font and is very brief with the description it is talking about. No credit is given to the photographer who took the picture. 
     When making my magazine will try to show a very enticing picture which shows wealth and success so that the reader knows that the same may come to them if they continue to read the magazine. Bright colors are also going to be used as well with the same purpose of catching the readers attention again. The table of contents of Kiplinger uses a white background for all the table of contents which means that i will need to use large, bright colors for the sub headings and also use a bright colorful picture as well to match well with the white background. In addition, I will try to my own touches to this section as I will be adding my own type of fonts like Brush Script and Franklin Gothic. Brush Script to make the magazine seem more elegant and fancy with its cursive style of writing. Franklin Gothic will be used to make the words stand out since it is a bold type of font. I will be doing this because I believe that the fonts used by kiplinger are bland and uninspired.

           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. Housing id a good business to start when looking in owning a luxurious house in the future. 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...
