Flat Plan: Contents Page

Here is my flat plan for my contents page along with a deconstruction of it's simple style.

'Contents' Title: To link with my genre and front cover, I wanted to continue to bring in the Korean side to this magazine with text in Hangeul. I plan to have 'Contents Page' written in Hangeul bigger than the english title however will keep the two close on the page to show the relation between them. After placing the English translation on top, I decided to swap their positions because of the imbalance in sizes looking odd to me. Also to link my contents page with my front cover, I will bring the background into the colouring of my Hangeul 'Contents Page' text, still making the contents page look simple yet keeping a feature from my cover page.

Positioning of numbers, headers and captions of what is inside the magazine: Since the magazine 10asia+Star is my main source of inspiration for my magazine, I chose to portray their juxtaposition of having a busier front cover than a contents page. I will use simple, classic sans serif fonts for the text to keep the modern edge. I will make sure the list is not too long to keep some focus on the model. However when planning the positioning of the headers and captions, I noticed they were too high up for my liking therefore drew a line to mark whereabouts I would crop/zoom into my image to make sure there is enough space for my numbers, headers and captions to be placed low enough on the page.

Model: I knew I wanted an over-the-shoulder shot at some point in my magazine pages and decided to use it for the contents page. I will use another Eastern-Asian model as my genre is Korean to link the two together for realism. I aim to make the pose innocent with a hand on the model's mouth, inspired by this magazine's contents page; on this contents page, the model's angle of gaze is lower however I would like my model to have a strong angle of gaze at the reader to draw the reader in just like on my front cover.
