It's a new day and it is now time to construct my table of contents! I already sketched out my table of contents a few blog posts ago, in which I'll follow!
Here is a rough start I did for my table of contents page. I really liked how all the images come together nicely and have somewhat of a hue of blue throughout all images, which I find pretty neat. Sunshine and contents are both in black to allow the readers to read what it said, Adding a border or a shadow drop effect makes it feel as though it had a more serious tone instead of playful, which is why i scratched that idea.
The next step I did is implementing the page number within the images and lay out the text of the table of contents itself.
This was a pretty rough draft of the table of contents. I had to move the divider line I planned on putting on the middle of the spread to make it easier to look at the TOC, but I ran out of room on the right side and had to shift it. I notice I had a bit of space towards the left and decided to consider that in my next stage of making the draft. On a side note, I used a font called STIXGeneral Light for the titles in the TOC to make it easier to read, while also keeping a flow of being playful throughout the spread.
After rearranging that previous mess of all the text being everywhere, I settled with arranging it like this. The text underneath the title was in Bangla MN as it was with the cover. I was able to bring the divider line back to the middle, while leaving room on both sides to allow equal spacing. I pick the colors by either picking a color from the picture (Mural and Food) or picking a fitting color myself that I gathered from my previous research (Red= traffic, Green= merchandise, and Vice City Pink= to contrast the basketball court that was painted vice city blue). Although this TOC was quite a struggle, I'm very happy with how it came out and now it's time to prepare for the double spread construction. See you then!! :]
