For my 6th blog post, I chose this table of contents from a book called Design Basics by Stephen Pentak and David A. Lauer. You can immediately tell by looking at this table of contents that the designer used a modular grid system to organize the elements on the page. The color of text is used to emphasize the subjects in each chapter and the size of text is used to order the the importance of what you are looking for. The hierarchy starts with the chapter number, which is the largest text on the page and then goes down in size to the chapter title, topics in chapter, and then key info in that specific section. I also thought it was interesting that the designer used the same size for all of the images and placed them on the same baseline as the chapters. This contents page stood out to me most because of how clean and simple it is without being too empty.
