Conventions of a Double Page Spread

Almost always, these things listed below are present in a magazine double page spread:

• BIG IMAGE, it usually fills a whole up a whole page and sometimes even overlaps on to the other page.
• BIG TITLE, this is generally eye-catching, not only in font but in what it's actually saying. Aka the headline.
• MAIN ARTICLE TEXT, usually taking up about 1/3 of the double page spread, filled with interesting information and gossip about the selected artist.
• MATCHING COLOUR SCHEME, to let the pages run in to eachother and flow as one article. Otherwise known as cohesion.
• OBJECTS OVERLAPPING THE GUTTER, to link the pages together. Can be either, or both, a photo of the artist or the title.
• PULL OUT CAPTIONS, are most likely going to be interesting quotes that the celebrity has said and will be one of the first things the reader will look at as it stands out.

If all of these conventions are present then, the double page will be successful.
