When I done some research on the codes of conventions of a Double Page Spread Magazine Article I found that there were several core traits one must include such as:
A large image: This is to grab the readers attention and straightaway they realize the image is in relation to the article or the subject.
A quote from the interview next to the big image or the headline: This is usually something controversial or shocking said by the celebrity themselves enticing the reader to want to read the article
The celebrity's name in bold: This is just to inform the reader on who the article is about
Font related to genre: Genre related font just gives the double page spread an instant atmosphere which tells part of the story in a way.
Text aligned in columns (usually 2-4): This is purposely for the visualization of the pages so the text looks neat and not all over the place which makes it easier to be read.
The image is usually on the left page: This is just how most music magazines have always set up their articles however some magazines go against this convention just to be different.
Some include by lines which are under the text: This is to give credit to anyone who is not mentioned or not present in image who took part in creating the article, so whether it's the photograther or the writer
The celebrity's name in bold somewhere: This is for anyone who is unaware of who the celebrity is just for them to be introduced
A headline: This is another factor for the reader to be teased into reading the article.
