Layout/Sketch : Table of Contents

The table of contents is a critical part of the magazine because it allows audiences to find a certain content within the magazine easily. It could also show an audience other headlines and peak their interest.
My table of contents page must be eligible but also reflects the magazines theme and tone. I want it to be fun and natural. Here is the sketch I made

I feel that this may be a creative layout for the table of a contents. The model for this page does not need any specific characteristics to be placed here just need to have a close head shot. The page would stand out and have a fun, playful, and vibrant feeling. It stands out and would stand out even more when color is added.
