Table of contents (Update)

In an earlier blog post I discussed what was going inside my table of contents but I never updated and explained it. This is the new and improved updated table of contents.
 

The only changes I made was to add colors and I had to change the fonts due to working from home. Once I changed the fonts, I thought that it would look so much better if I added some color since I already started adding some to the double page spread and the cover page had color too. I picked colors that were found in multiple pictures and that I felt matched with them well. I chose green for the headings since there isn't a lot of green in the pictures but there is little pops of that color so I wanted to bring it out more by choosing it for the headings. I also thought green was a good color because its all healthy and green can make people think of healthy foods and can relate with that well too. Then I chose a pinkish salmon color to put on the numbers. This color is in a lot of the pictures and I didn't want to drown the page in this color, so i thought the numbers would look good that color since they're small. Lastly for the table of contents title, I thought orange would be good since it is in a lot of the pictures too. I wanted the orange to be more of a lighter orange because I didn't want it to make the page overwhelming but have the color still pop and look cohesive with the page.

Overall, I was kind of skeptical of changing the colors at first but I did it and I enjoyed the way it looked and I think it also fit well with what I am trying to achieve. With all the pages having their own pops of color, but all following the same formats and fonts makes everything look well put together but then makes every page unique due to the different pops of colors. Also after talking to my classmates, they enjoyed the way it looked with the color also and thought that it fit my theme of the magazine very well.
