CONTENTS PAGE: Research/Deconstruction

In this post I will deconstruct two Korean magazine contents pages that I will use to model and inspire my contents page.


Firstly, I loved the image and it's positioning; model's head and body balances well with the negative space in front of him; the use of bricks as a background fills it. His angle of gaze and laid back body language adds mystery and wonder to him.

The use of sans-serif font gives it a modern look that links with the model's clothing as in Korea, fashion is very popular and well-thought of. The bolder, classic fonts as headers contrasting the captions is a pleasant layout and is simple.




A lot like the first contents page I have shown, the model's angle of gaze is away, adding mystery however my model's angle of gaze will be at the reader; although the gaze is different, they both will look innocent and soft with a hand on the mouth.

I love the thin, simple text for the headers that match the page numbers; it lets you focus on the image more.
The introductory paragraph is a very cool idea and the separators organize the whole layout pleasantly.
