This document provides examples of double page spreads from different magazines to inspire the creation of the author's own double page spread. It analyzes features of the layout, writing style, use of images and quotes, and presence of branding or "institutional presence". The author likes continuity of images, a Q&A style, and incorporating elements that maintain the magazine's house style.
