I got this spread off 'It's nice that' website. I love how minimalistic and clean it is which I think makes more of a bolder impact on the page. The use of the large imagery and clean layout makes you pay attention to more detail on the page including the torn away san serif type feature on the right hand side. This is definitely something I want to consider in my ideas for my double page spreads.

Another example from 'It's nice that' website. Again the clean and simple minimal look has an impact that instantly captures your attention, the use of imagery on the left draws your focus on the dog. It then makes you question what it's about and what exactly its trying to communicate, making you follow through to the right hand page with the body text to find out what is going on.

This use of illustration bleeding onto both pages is something I am very fond of, your eyes are directly focused on the picture which then follow through to the title of the page 'New Norse'. As this has captured your attention enough you then want to find out exactly what message its trying to portray following through to read the body text on the right hand side. I definitely want to try a similar technique in my double page spreads as I think it kind of breaks the grid layout boundary whilst still holding that professional graphic design element.

This photograph was from a book I found in the library. Although it is not a double page spread it still has that minimal clean element look making it look successful. The use of imagery captures your attention first which you instantly recognise if your a fan of the band The Stone Roses, since then it already has your focus and interest it makes you want to read what it has to say about the band. The largely scaled 1989 I think also makes an impact on the page as people who will of grew up in that era will be interested in what its communicating in that period.
