A design is never finished...

So I went home this weekend and showed my dad my spreads and he had some ideas for how I could impove/change my table of contents. The thing we really focused on was the box in the TABLEOFCONTENTS grid.

At first he thought a solid box was too much in the midst of all the letters.


So I made the solid box into just and outline.



And then he asked what it would look like if there was an "X" in the box.


And now I kinda like the one with the outline and X the most. But I'm not sure if which is actually better. I think that if the box is solid then it feels a little unbalanced.

    I still think the first one is the most successful, but let's ask Maia tomorrow. She has a better grasp of type than I do.Think about extending the magenta as a bleed on the left so you don't get slivers of white when the book is finally trimmed. What does your Dad do?
