Layout for my Double Page Spread

My original layout plan was based on a Double Page Spread taken from an NME interview with Mark Ronson. I liked the layout of the double page spread, because everything was very clear and fit into place very well. Here was my original layout idea for my magazine, compared with the layout that I would base it on:

The problem was that I couldn't fit all of my artists interview into the box that I'd designated for it, and so I had to rethink my layout. I liked the design behind the Mark Ronson interview, and so I tried to link my new layout with the design. In the end, here is what I came up with:

I made the text at the top introducing my artist the same shade of pink that I used on my front cover and contents page so that I could create a link between the three of my final pieces, but I tried to keep the layout for my double page spread the same as it was on the Mark Ronson article, just moving the text around a little bit. I think I have managed to create a constant theme between my three designs, but I also think I have modeled my double page spread around an existing article quite well.
