Double Page Spread Images

I have decided that when it comes to making my magazine, keeping a pure white colour under the text may make the magazine quite boring. I didn’t want to include just a coloured text box underneath as my target market told me that then can sometimes bore them and not encourage them to read the article itself. As a solution, I have decided to place a slightly transparent image under the article to make it seem less bland and more interesting to the eye. The image below isn’t transparent so that the image can be seen properly.
