Early magazine concept #3

Here I shall discuss what I'm envisioning for the cover and table of contents. As I've decided the feature piece game, the cover will feature the game covers and some of the titles from the rest of the magazine in an appealing design. Overall, I'm hoping to make use of colors to make the cover feel homogenous but still readable. The table of contents will be a fairly simple design, basic gaming motifs as decoration and a list of title articles and page numbers on one page, in a color easy on the eyes that makes it pleasant to read through. Often it's a bit easy to get lost in the table of contents as you read the titles and it's just a wall of text and I'm hoping to avoid that while keeping the design overall minimalistic as I prefer it to be.
