Project Details

Redesigning the table of contents for a random magazine, maintaining the original page and content while giving it a more appealing look. The table of content, or "Inhalt" (meaning content in English), contain both English and German language content.

Project Goals

My aim was to learn how to organize content effectively. I explored various ways to create hierarchy in a text-only context, experimenting with lineworks, and selecting suitable typeface combinations, including both sans serif and serif fonts.

While designing, it's crucial to ensure readability, especially from a distance, especially when experimenting with text rotations. Using grayscale colors helps in differentiating the contrast between each sections.

REFLECTION

What I learned

Providing enough breathing space between sections, be it headers or content, is crucial. Overcrowding can lead to a loss of consumer focus and engagement. It is important to keep consistency while adding unique elements to every section in order to make them cohesive and retaining the audience's attention. Experimenting with different sizes helps emphasize specific hierarchy power.

What could be improved

Regarding layout and style, I'm happy with the outcome. However, I would like to explore designing more pages and consider incorporating new layouts while maintaining interest. This could include elements like illustrations or interactive features to enhance the overall table of content experience.
