The double page spread is two pages working together to show specific content. Often, double-page spreads appear as one big page, which is important to its presentation. Here is an example of a double page spread on Mark Ronson by NME Magazine:

Some of the conventions of double-page spreads are:

Layout: The overall presentation of the spread

Mode of Address: How the audience is spoken to.

Anchorage text: Text under the main picture, establishing a link with it.

Emotive language: Language that plays on the emotions of the reader.

Buzz word: Words such as "NEW" or "EXCITING" that pique the reader's attention.
