This is the Table of Contents for Playbill Magazine (that little program you get at a Broadway show). I like the simplicity, brief single-sentence descriptions, and the hierarchy of elements. I think this basic format is used because the contents are all on one page (8″ x 5.5″ dimensions), so it is a very small space to work with. I think there is somewhat of a grid for the type and images separately, but because they don’t line up too well, it’s hard to see how one cohesive grid could be used for both of them. Grid or no grid, the images are still visually pleasing next to the type, so I don’t see any issues there. The emphasis is on the bold type, which includes the headings and article titles. The orange color is also used to further emphasize the headings, as well as the Playbill logo.
