- The main part of the double page spread is the article itself, The

singer would of talked about things such as: There
life, tour, relationships, friends, family and upcoming events, all
this information is what the reader wants to read, they want to get

- I have looked at quite a lot of double page spreads and they are
all very similar to these two, all double page spreads will write
about an interview that has been taken place a while ago, and
include a picture of that artist that will always take up most of a
page.
