The Double Page Spread

example of a double page spread with the main image on the
left page.

The topic of the double page spread is something that I feel should be one of the parts of beauty that I know the most about and that it should be helpful to all of the readers. Therefore, i've decided to do the article on skincare and how makeup can help or damage one's skin.
Since this topic can vary from teens to mature skin, the article will be divided into subheadings so that the reader can find what interests them find what suits their needs. Which is why i decided on making it on skin care because of all the different types of skin (fair, dark, mature, young, oily, dry, and combination).

The Layout

I was looking at images for examples of double page spreads and i found that many of them are comprised of one full page image related to the article on the next page.
For my double page spread on skin care, a full page image of the cover model with clean, moisturized, glowing skin looking at the camera smiling to show that she's happy in her own skin, and then the following page with go into detail about each skin type, divided by subheadings, in three columns. 
This image's colors help create a sense of clean
purity which is why i've decided to use this color scheme 
for my double page spread.

The Color Scheme

The background of the entire double page spread will be white, the heading will be light blue with a drop shadow, and the article text will be black. Having the light touch of blue against the white creates a sense of cleanliness and purity.
