I now have the general format for my table of contents, but now I have to plan our how I am going to make my table of contents. First I have to take into account the colors I used for my masthead, slogan, and sweet spot because I plan on using the same colors in my table of contents. Since, my masthead and slogan colors were red, I decided to also make the slogan and title red. As for the rectangle, I made it green because my sweet spot was green. This helps connect my title page to my table of contents and make my magazine looked planned out and organized. Now that I had that out of the way, I had to plan out the pictures and article titles and page numbers I am going to put. Today I am going to focus on my article titles and pages because I am going to base my photos off my articles.

For my articles in the table of contents, I am going to have both my articles and page numbers in bold. However, I will not have any descriptions under or next to them. This is because I am going to put the descriptions next to the pictures I will later talk about in a non-bold format. I plan on coming up with eight to ten article titles, which includes the pictures. My articles have to mainly deal with teen fashion, but also incorporate something about the environment into it. It look time to come up with my article titles, but eventually I created the following:

The following pictures were taken for my main article picture... For my main article I wanted to have my model, Alexa, laying down on the ground with clothes and/or shopping bags surrounding her. This would help convey the idea that the clothes from major teen fashion industries is hurting their consumers; teens. I also made sure that the clothing and shopping bags were colorful so that the magazine would draw in and appeal to teens, our intended audience. Taking the photo on the grass, again, helped bring a pop of color to the magazine but also help connect the cover picture with my main article, considering that both of the pictures were taken outside. Out of all the photos, I feel that the one to the bottom left looks the most appealing because the photo is the most filled with shopping bags and clothing. Having more clothing and shopping bags taking up the frame helps intensify the overwhelming feeling of them around Alexa. Empty spacing is not needed anyways becaus...

Now that I have found some examples of sweet spots used in teen fashion magazines, I now have to look at sweet spots used in environmental magazines to see if there are any key similarities or differences between the two. Here are some of the following environmental magazines covers I found with sweet spots... In this magazine, the sweet spot is located in the bottom right corner. The text in it says,"Visualizing Carbon Because seeing is believing p.24". In this case the sweet spot is being used some what as a puff by promoting an article in the magazine. In fact, it is the only article on the cover besides the one in the head line.  On this magazine, the sweet spot is located in the upper right area. It states,"SPECIAL REPORT The Future of Our Environment". The sweet spot is, again, being used to promote a specific article in the magazine besides the one in the headline. Putting another article in the sweet spot draws attention to the article and hel...

The final part of the final part of creating this magazine was to put together the fourth page. I decided to put my article title at the top of my page in the font Abril Fatface because the same font was used to describe the same article in the headline on the magazine cover. To add a little pop of color, I went along with the same idea used on my third page and put the title over a green rectangle for contrast. For my article text, I decided to divide the text into two columns with a divider in between them, as three or more would leave little space for even a couple of words. The font I used for the text was Kollektif because it matches the text I used in the table of contents. I keep trying to use the same group of fonts so that my magazine does not look all over the place. When placing the article text from my previous blog into my article on Canva, I encountered something I was expecting, my article was too long. I first decided to remove the section in the article about Nike...
