The double page spread uses a large main image taking up the entire left page to create visual interest and balance for the text on the right page. The text is separated into two columns as is commonly done in other magazines and includes a smaller embedded image. A footer with the magazine's title and social media links is added to tie the pages together, mimicking features found in other real media products.
