Double-Page Spread Analysis

This double-page spread has a style model that would be quite easy to replicate. It follows many codes and conventions of an average Kerrang double-page spread but there are so many different styles of double-page spread in Kerrang that it is hard to generalise. This article is definitely image dominated. The image covers most of the two pages leaving room on the right hand side for the article itself. The quote ‘I don’t miss Paramore one bit!’ is in huge big eye-catching letters. This is because this is quite a shocking revelation to be made by the former band member. The writing is split up into two columns and the questions asked are in bigger and clearly letters than the actual answers. This is so that the reader if they are just skimming the article would be able to find the questions they wanted to know the answers to with ease. The text beside the quote explains the quote and tells people about the actual article. That is why it is slightly smaller than the actual quote. The picture in the top right hand corner is off Josh Farro’s former band Paramore. This image is slightly askew possibly to show that this band has had problems and split up.
The main image shows the band members almost coming out of the trees or possibly through them. This may show that the band has just immerged ‘through the trees.’ They have came out of the wilderness and are here to stay. This deep symbolism represents the persona that the band is trying to be associated with. In my magazine I will definitely use the heavily image dominated and not at all blocky style in my double-page spread. I will also concentrate intently on the position and pose of the band members.
