FMP: Travel Publications / Double Page Spreads

I felt it would be beneficial to collect some examples of double page spread designs to get a feel for what the typical travel editorial layout looks like, what types of images do they use and how can I take inspiration from these in own images?

Successes: Clean organised layout. Nice use of font. Clear and consistent colour scheme, creates relaxing feel.
Weaknesses: Images on left hand page look a bit crammed together? 


Successes: Nice bold use of photography on full bleed, creates immersive effect.
Weaknesses: Typeface is uuugly


Successes: logical layout for convenience and ease of reading on smaller device.
Weaknesses: No style atall - just image and text.

From looking at print and screen based journalism layouts, I have identified some techniques that make an effective and visually engaging layout. I have also once again identified a lack of editorial illustration which is something I intend to use to create a new type of product.
