The Time I Made Contents Page Flat Plans

As a part of my research in creating the most realistic looking magazine, I decided to create flat plans for my contents page. I looked at existing hip hop magazines to seek for inspiration as I did not know what would look best for a contents page. 

This is Vibe magazine. 

This is XXL magazine

In both magazines, there are many similarities such as the positioning of the main image and articles. I decided to design my contents page similarly to these two contents pages because it looks aesthetically pleasing. In addition, if these hip hop magazines have similar layouts and are successful, it would be appropriate to take on similar elements of it.
