This is is 1 of 3 double page spread sheets that I have produced by hand.

As you can see this double page spread looks nice and large and the title and picture form to be a decent size, and so do the columns, each column can contain a formal amount of text. At the start the first paragraph there is a large amount of text. This is adding more detail to the work and it makes the reader interested. There is also an image next to this larger amount of text, this image with have something to do with this larger text size. Overall I think that this is a very good formal layout for a double page spread and I may consider using this for my final design, but I would swap the image from the right to the left. This is because I will make the page look and fell more neat due to the fact that the text runs over it.
