Table of Contents

February 11, 2026

For this blog, I'll be analyzing two different table of contents (TOC) of magazines from the same genre, Fashion. We are focusing only on the table of contents page for these magazine and analyzing them in specific detail. This will give me inspiration and a guide to look at when doing my own table of contents page. I will focus on Vogue and Elle which are very well known fashion magazines.

Similarities

Both magazines have a cery clean and organize table of contents layout. They use serif fonts for their article headings and place page numbers next to the article title, helping readers navigate through the magazine. Both TOC's separate articles into clear sections and keep the text aligned in columns giving the page a professional look.

Differences

Vogue's page feels more energetic due to the jumping pose of the model and the colored pictures. Elle's page feels calmer and dull with a black-and-white image. Elle also includes more sections and articles, while Vogue has more empty space.
