Starting my TV listings magazine double page spread

I have just began to start working on my double page spread for my documentaries magazine feature. In terms of the layout and styling of it, as shown by my sketches it will be constructed in a very similar way to that of the Top Gear article that I analysed. I felt that this was a particularly eye catching and engaging spread, and achieved the right balance between image and text which I too was keen to achieve.
To start off with I have been working on the "CRAIG AND SARA'S GREATEST WINS" element of the article, positioned in the bottom right hand corner of the second page. I feel that this enables me to add some background information of Craig and Sara's most notable previous success without needing to include an overwhelming amount of text. Furthermore the almost collage like arrangement of the image I feels ads a more light hearted sense to the feature, hopefully capturing the essence of my documentary. I have now positioned all of the images and have began inserting the body of the text within this area, that very briefly gives some information regarding each achievement and what made them so special to them. To begin with I created the basis of this element using a series of text boxes to almost mark out where each picture and its additional caption would go. This was then followed with the insertion of each image and then finally the text and captions.
