Double page spread research

I feel these double page spread have the conventions i would wish to carry through onto my own double page spread. The simple yet dynamic layout with equal amount of text and image on the double page creates an even tone and an inviting layout. On both double page spreads the image placed on the pages is large however it does not shadow the text and both features are equally visible. The colours used on the double page spreads are similar to the contents page i researched. Again the colour palet remains an unvaried tone , with black,white and grey remaining the main colour features on the double page spread. However the main image of the double page spread features model introduces new bold colours to empahise the improtance of the artist that may be featured on the double page. On the two examples i have studied the models are staring directly at the camera to keep strong intimacy with the reader , this is a convention i used on both my cover and contents page and will continue to use on my double page spread.
