A lot of the spreads I saw used some sort of mirror effect on the two pages. One would have a picture of someone's head, and the other side was an oval shape that was similar in shape. This does it too with the lines forming a circular pattern like the plates. I like that they split the word "meal" up and then carroted in the word "family" in the actual article.
If the smudge wasn't down the center of the picture, I don't think I would have taken a second look at this spread. The messiness of it, combined with the large amount of white space draws me right into the words.
If this spread didn't include Richard Gere, I probably wouldn't have included it. However, the black, grey and white mixed with real photography and animation makes the viewer want to know what is going on here. I like the quirkiness of it. 
I suppose I really like black and white pictures. Once again, there is so much white space that you have to read what is written on the business card, and you want to know why that suit-clad man is walking off the page.
I love that this is spread over two pages, and it is just one giant picture. If this doesn't make you want to read this article, then I don't think anything would. It is also very personal because everything is written by hand, not typed.
