Table of Contents

x The Table of contents was mirrored from one of the highest praised magazine's in the world, Money Magazine. Money Magazine has an issue where they used a border around the main background color, I resembled this while adding a gold background and a texture to the background.

In order for the masthead to not be unnoticed I decided to style it with the Photoshop design, "stroke". I plan to use Ernesto Pedroso for the photo shoot, and he will be modeling as a powerful, rich businessman. Not only so, in order to show this he will use be wearing 3 gold chains and a polo sweatshirt as expensive clothes. He will also show his money power by holding dollar bills in his hand. A serious face will illustrate his powerful and respectful image, and emphasize his role in the magazine. Lastly, i will place the bar code on the left of the cover and the header in the bottom right corner over the figure to pop-out as the most important article.
