Building the Contents Page (Part 2)

Hey everyone! Welcome back to part 2 of developing my content page! I am feeling a LOT more creative and positive today, and this whole project is starting to feel a little more manageable. I'm going to continue with my third section, which is Beauty. I was thinking about making the name a little more interesting, like maybe adding another word in front of or after Beauty that also starts with the letter B. As of now, I can't think of anything that's creative but not cringe. But anyways, let's get started.

Beauty:

  • Blushes that will make you glow this spring - 4
  • Newest Nail designs for this season - 84
  • Healthy Hair in Humidity - 13
  • Shaving Tips for Baby Smooth Skin - 39
  • Celebrity Makeup Artist Reveals how to get your makeup to last all day - 46
  • Get Rid of Eyebags Quick: Best Retinol Eyecreams for instant results - 72
Now for what will be most likely be the final section, unless I decide to add another one: Trending Today. This section should be the heaviest section, I feel like, since it's heavily focused on fashion and that's the main focus of our magazine. I had many other ideas for the Beauty section but I purposely restricted myself as this is a fashion magazine and not a beauty magazine.

Also, on a completely unrelated note, just today Hailey and I had quite the realization. We were chatting about the different articles I could include, and I realized that doing a Men's Fashion Magazine would have been so much easier. Firstly, we wouldn't have had to model and the outfits would've also been comparatively similar. Not saying that Men's fashion is lacking in anyway, but their outfits tend to be less extravagant compared to women's outfits. Men's fashion magazine also focus on quality over quantity, so many of the major fashion magazines such as GQ will produce 80-100 page fashion magazines. Although that seems like a similar number to women's fashion magazines, 100 pages and 200 pages is quite a large gap. In fact, GQ actually released a feature on LeBron James and other players which was 24 pages long. So yeah, that really puts it into perspective. 

But anyways, no more regrets because it's too late to change anything, so let me get on with what is hopefully the final section. Trending Today:
  • MODE's Spring Outfit Collection - 96
  • Fantasy Fashion: Seasonal Greek Outfits - 75
  • Designer Days: Cheap but durable designer replacements - 43
  • Dressing for YOUR Body Type - 61
  • Letitia's Iconic Met Gala look that everyone is OBSESSED with - 54
  • Livin' la Vida: how to be a Fashionista EVERY day according to MODE's Gleneth Truman - 30
  • Sundresses are IN: the public's favorite types of dresses for springtime - 37
  • Fashion and how it influences daily life - 25
I'm hoping 8 articles is enough (it's probably not) but I'm willing to add more in the future as inspiration comes to me. I really need to continue brainstorming on how to layout the entire content page, and how the pictures will fit it. That's is definitely going to be the next focus, as well as actually putting all of these ideas onto InDesign. Anyways, that's all for today.

Thanks so much for tuning in, catch you later!
