Double Page Conclusion

Almost all double page spreads that I have seen have used a photo as the main focus and text as either quite small with lots of information or short paragraphs that try to remain interesting. A house style and colour scheme are consistent with the contents page and the front cover, unless it is a special feature, which will not happen in my magazine.

Sans serif text is always used for the main body as it is much more readable then something like times new roman. Contrasting colours are used for almost all text apart from some of the titles.
Most pictures are either used as the background or the background is removed and a self created background is added.
In conclusion, I believe that for a double page spread to work it needs to be more orientated around pictures rather then text, and a picture with a CGI background is used more often and works better in comparison with font styles.
