5082 magazine analysis (table of contents)

     

 The table of contents of all editions are similar. They all have a main photo including a portrait of someone significant to the state of colorado. For example, the magazine labeled "Mountain escapes" includes the senator of colorado. The magazine labeled "Small town getaways" includes the owner of a company founded in colorado that specializes in the making of natural goods with the use of herbs and so forth. In addition, all editions include 5 pictures included in the table of contents, all in relation to what is being featured in the contents. Another similarity includes the use of a red symbol on the top left of the page, this seems to be one of the features in the magazine's housestyle as well as the inclusion of a large colorful and bolded number, representing the month in which the edition was published.  

As for fonts, the font used in the heading of "Contents" is a serif font as for the heading that provides detail on the features, it is a serif font that is bolded and capitalized. The table of contents is organized by topic: Front range, scene, departments, and eat and drink in which there are headings or specific articles. As for length the magazines range from 156-272 pages. These are all into relation to my magazine because I think categorizing the table of content allows readers a better understanding of the content the magazine includes. The table of contents serves as a taste of what the magazine is all, essentially being a synopsis. With that said, I would like to include categories like this table of contents. It is visually pleasing and organized and it is displayed on one page.
