Now that I am done with my cover page of my magazine, it is time to create my table of contents. In order to create my table of contents, I first need to look at the table of contents on teen fashion magazines. Here are some table of contents' I found...

 On this table of contents, it does not directly state anywhere that it's a table of contents; it is implied. Starting from the top, there is the magazine title along with the edition of the magazine. Below it, there are numbers with bold wording next to them. The bold numbers indicate the article title and the numbers indicate the page the article is located on. Underneath each article is a blurb explaining what the article is about. Some of the articles in the table of contents have text next to them that say "ON THE COVER", highlighting that the article in the table of contents was featured on the cover. This table of contents has one picture with the caption "Get to know the real Taylor Swift" and a page number. The picture of Taylor Swift is put here specifically to promote an article about her.

On this table of contents, it is directly stated that it is a table of contents at the top. However, the magazine company name is not mentioned at all. The articles are separated into different categories based on their topics with the page number to the left of it. Underneath each article is the name of the person who wrote the article. There are also multiple pictures with page numbers on each of them, indicating that the pictures have a connection to the article on that page. However, there is no description of the image or it's related article. The reader has to look for the page number in the table of contents to get an idea of what the article is about. Two of the articles in the table of contents are highlighted pink, which not only adds a pop of color to the magazine, but also draws attention to the two articles. This emphasis on them gives off the idea that they are important to this magazine edition.
