I don’t know if I’m like most people in this, but despite being a magazine editor, I almost never look at the Table of Contents when I open a magazine. Today, however, the newest issue of Esquire opened to the contents when I flipped it open, and I couldn’t help noticing much the same layout I see all the time when I work on the magazine: They’ve made it look more or less like the InDesign page view layout. While quirky, it’s also slightly useful in that you know ahead of time how long it’s probably going to take the read something. The New Yorker could probably benefit from this!
