What i have learnt from analysing double page spreads

From analysing double page spreads, i have learnt a lot about the layout and how important it is about where to place things. Making the main image the size of one whole side making sure its clear to the reader who the article is about before they start reading it. Also using parts of bigger, bolder parts of text to show which parts show mostly what the article is about or what is the most shocking or interesting part throughout. Also the way the article is laid out is very important as this is what the reader is wanting to read. Having the text in columns rather than big paragraphs, will make it look like there is less text and more likely for the audience to read it. Moreover, using big, eye catching mastheads on the main page of the article, draws in a lot of attention from the audience as it clearly shows who and what the text is about. Its very important for double page spreads to look the most eye catching and the most interesting, as this is what the front cover of the magazine is usually focusing the advertisement on. With the article bring spread over two pages, automatically tells the audience that it is important, as it's been put there as the company find it interesting and think that the primary audience will like to read that specific article.
