Table of contents are so very necessary for every magazine spread. Readers need a healthy guideline that won't struggle their minds! Although I will only be creating a two page spread, the table of contents will be full of life and articles drawing readers to wish there was more. I have found that there are two basic formats for the table of contents. The straight to the point and the not so straight. As my research within travel magazines I have found that most table of contents cut straight to the point. There is lots of information within travel magazines and its important that readers know what they will be reading.
I plan to create a style of which will include pictures of the main headliner so readers can easily find the story within the magazine of which they were drawn to. But I will also create a table of contents with standing points. Meaning I plan to bold and change colors of fonts to draw attention to other stories that deserve much attention. However, I am not sure about changing fonts around within the table of contents. I believe that travel magazines are fun yet should follow a pattern.
