Research - Table of Contents


Hello beautiful people! Like I said in one of my other research posts, one of the components I need in my magazine is a table of contents, which I don't really know how to do for a magazine. So, I did some research, and here if what I found:

Pages

Some are two-page spreads and some are only one page. The only big difference I noticed is the ones that are two pages have more photos and a larger title, however, some of the one-page ones have a lot of photos. 

Photos

In terms of photos, some didn't include any, and some had only one or two. The ones that had multiple photos had the photos numbered, and each one corresponded to the page number of the article that it goes with, which I though was a really good idea, but I'm not sure if I'm going to have enough photos. 





Contents

All the examples I saw included a list of articles, and for the most part, they all had the same layout; Bold headlines with short article descriptions underneath. They also had the corresponding page numbers in large, highlighted font. I also noticed that font and colors matched the theme of the rest of the magazine, which makes sense. 



Overall, I don't think the table of contents will be super hard. I just have to decide how I want the layout to be, and come up with a bunch of fake articles.
