magazine spreads

Multi-page photo features

Magazine spreads are layouts that span two facing pages in a magazine, designed as a single visual unit.

The format allows for dramatic photographs, extended features, or advertisements that benefit from the wider canvas: The fashion spread showcased the designer's new collection.

A centerfold is the most prominent spread, often removable.

The term extends to any multi-page layout treatment: They gave the story a six-page spread.
