The double page spread allowed me to put forth and interpret I wanted readers to get from reading my magazine. I continued with the same aesthetic i set forth the previous two pages having the same simplicity and font. This just being a rough draft and being used as a practice for my future magazines. I am happy with how my magazine looks but i would most likely not stay with this concept for the magazine.

I continued with the simple and minimalist look onto the table of contents. Having the image of the purplish sky fits well into the page and fills up needed space in the page. In the table of contents I presented the 3 sections that would be in the magazine.

 

 The magazine I was going for in this preliminary task was a mentally healing and refreshing magazine. The masthead I wanted to be simple to match with the minimalist theme I was going for. I wanted the masthead to be noticeable but not stand out over the main image of the sky that I wanted to emphasize. I wanted to include the short text about the magazine so the reader knows what they are going to read about but i did not want it to overlap with the image of the sky. I put the main theme of the whole magazine in the middle where it is readable but does not overpower the image of the sky. I wanted the background color of the magazine to not overpower the color of the sky but i did not want a dark color so i ended up with a lilac color.
