Working progress: adding page numbers

Here shows me adding page numbers to my articles. This required alot of thinking and planning, although it seems fairly easy. Assuming that my contents page would be the 1st one in my magazine, this meant my page numbers featured on the articles would have to be from 2 onwards. I found that orginally i wanted to make my double page spread a certain page number, but found out i couldnt because this wouldnt work with the page numbers on the page, and the contents.
This diagram explains what i am trying to say better:


You can see that if the contents is page 1 then the other pages on the left will be even numbers, and on the right of the magazine are always odd. So i released i needed to make the DPS, an even number on the contents, however it will be 2 pages, which will take up an odd number also.

Another thing with page numbers, is that in magazines they don't feature these on every page. However for my double page spread i feel it is vital, as i want people to be able to find it as easy as they can see the page number.
