Whats Going Inside

The page I have the most planned out so far is my table of contents page. This page has 6 pictures with brief descriptions of each photo. Back at the beginning stages of planning my magazine, when I was analyzing other food magazines table of contents, I realized that there is not every page specifically talked about on in the contents. It was more of the most featured recipes and that is what I made mine like. I was trying to attract a younger audience so I gave each section a little name that a younger audience would like. The language of the section names are very slang like talk and the way teenagers now a days speak like. That was my number one key to attracting a younger audience was to speak to them the way they understand best. Each section is sectioned out like an Instagram post with a corresponding caption. This was another way I was trying to attract a younger audience, since teenagers and young adults surround their lives around social media.

My first section is toast up
I described it as "Thinly sliced, perfectly toasted, sourdough bread topped with slices of avocado, diced cherry tomatoes, and home made balsamic glaze. " This was just a brief description of the dish that would later be described and shown exactly how to make on a later page. All the features on the table of contents will be recipes that are on later pages, so I figured I should just describe the dish to get the audience interested in the dishes and want to read longer.


The second feature was the EDIbowls. That is the recipe I am using for my double page spread. This was described as "Frozen acai blended with pitaya, mango and pineapple. Topped with vanilla almond granola, honey and a variety of fruit of your choosing, all put in half of a pineapple that you can eat."

The third box was called Wrap it Up. I described this as "Thai Shrimp Lettuce Wraps with a mix of veggies, Thai seasoning and lime wedges." All the features I had in the bottom row were smaller features and their descriptions were more brief.


The fourth box was called health nut. This box described the home made almond butter recipe. I described this page as "How to make your own almond butter at home!! Dressed with bananas to eat with."


The fifth box is titled #Juicyyy. This box was speaking about the page talking aboout the DIY juice cleanse recipes. I described this box as " DIY Juice Cleanse> 7 days of juices that you can make yourself."

The last box was called Say Cheese. This box was describing the recipe to the fetta cheese and watermelon salad. I described this as "Juicy watermelon salad with fetta cheese topped with mint leaves."


This is all the exact content I have so far for my table of contents page so far. There is not any more words that I need to put on this page but I will probably work on the wording of some of the features. Below is a photo of my page so far. I like the way it looks so far but I am still working on adding some more colors and some better word choice.
