Ancillary product - double page spread - initial background

The background image of a double page spread is normally what the eye is drawn to first. Therefore I want the image of the double page spread to be the most successful piece in the whole product. As I do A2 photography as well as media, I am at an advantage as I will know the skills and techniques that are needed to take a good photograph and for it to be the correct quality for the page. I want to use the rule of thirds mainly in my background image. this is because of the eye. As there is the golden ratio/spiral as well I will try to include this within my work. The rule of thirds is important, because I want there to be text, yet the image to be the main focus, Therefore where there is less detail within the image I will be able to place the text.
