Final changes of the double-page spreads

I've looked at the previous designs of my double-page spreads and I saw some disadvantages there, therefore I decided to modify some of the things.

First of all, I've lined up the columns on the first double-page, I think this way it looks more completed and structured. Also it feels the page more, therefore no empty spaces are left. I also made the heading bigger, I want it to stand out and attract attention because this is the cover story.

On the second double-page I put the translucent boxes behind the text, to make it easier to read. I also changed the colour of the font, I think black looks better and also I used black on the first page of the article.

However I did the last line of the article bigger and I also used a different font. I chose white for the colour of it, because this is the finishing line of the article that's why I wanted it to be different and maybe even look a little bit dramatic because of the contents of it.
