Double page spread flat plan

This is the flat plan I have created for my double page spread. I thought keeping the layout would help keep it structured and put together. The fonts and colours will all be a continuation of my front cover and contents page to keep everything tied in and together. 

I decided to put the title at the top of the page, this will help the reader easily find the article and it also keeps in with general convention. 

I then decided to keep the text predominant on both pages as it is the main feature and by filling the page with text it will allow me to put more information into the article. I considered incorporating different font sizes, styles and colours in the article to keep it from being plain and losing the reader's interest. 

I then placed the page numbers in the bottom outside corners of the page. I did this as it follows standard magazine convention and allows the reader to easily navigate around the magazine.
