Table of Contents

So this is where everything changed essentially. We all know that I didn't have the best shooting day... So that drastically effected the amount of photos I was able to use and the amount of photos that I had. Which in effect, caused me to have an epiphany. The table of contents that I had previously selected require a lot of photos.

Original TOC:

    

Used a lot of photos that I didn't have...

So instead I went researching to look for a different table of contents idea. Panicking and in a rush because the deadline was soon, I went with the option that required the least amount of photos. And I found it!

Yes I know it looks bad and blan, but this was the format I was going for and I knew if I could put my own spin on it, I'd be able to make a semi decent looking table of contents.

The next step was actually creating the table of contents, not doing all the editing and designing stuff. But more of what pages I'm going to have, how many pages, how many subheadings, and things like that.

So I figured out a few things:

• I wanted to have the word "contents" instead of "Table of Contents."
• I want a section somewhere on the page labeled "Recipe of the Week," which I will be promoting the cover dish "Creamy Garlic Chicken & Potatoes" and providing a brief description of the dish
• I also wanted a separate section for all the feature stories/articles in my magazine
• And I wanted there to be around 70 pages total with around 6 subheadings
• And lastly, I decided to use 3 images (totally not because those were the only ones I had left)... :(

And now, after all the planning, I was finally set and ready to start designing and bringing this beautiful table of contents to life!!!
