The document discusses the layout and design elements commonly found in magazine double page spreads (DPS). These include a main image that usually features the subject of the article and sometimes bleeds over both pages. Color schemes typically use 2-3 colors to make the main image stand out. Drop caps, or enlarged initial letters, are used to indicate where to start reading. The body text is organized with line breaks and columns to be easy to understand. Bold text draws attention to important parts the reader should focus on first. Captions can also provide information to encourage readers to learn more.
