Initial ideas creativity: Double Page Spread.

I have thought about the design of my double page spread, and I think that having one large photo on the page would be perfect. It would be the main article of the magazine, and it would be of the model that was posing for the front cover central image of my magazine. The photo would be the model posing cheerfully, preferably sat down on an object. I have not yet decided on a colour scheme, however, I would like the start of the article to have a massive drop capital, because I really like the way it makes the article appear. I have found some lovely examples to show approximately how I would like the drop capital to look:

I aim to use a drop capital in a similar way to this one, as it looks very interesting and grabs your attention due to it's size compared to the rest of the text, this is the effect that I would like to achieve myself. 

I would like my text to have more than one column, and be nicely arranged, which would make it nice and easy to follow and read. The text itself would be aligned on the left side, but probably not on the left. However, if I decide to break this convention I might align the text on both sides of the column.

The title of the text would be large and easily noticeable, and in a funky vintage font which would create synergy between the front cover, the contents page and the double page spread.
