Double-Page Spread Analysis

This double-page spread has a style model that I don’t think I will take much inspiration from although it is quite affective and pleasing to the eye. The main image on this article is centralised with the two columns of texts either side of it. The main image of Alexi Laiho is dark and has almost been drained of colour. This could be to show how low and depressed he felt when dealing with his years of drug problems. The rest of the band are pictured in the top left in a slightly lighter colour scheme. This may also be to show the genre of the band. The quote ‘I was killing myself’ is in the same colour text as the title. This means it is eye-catching and obviously something the editor thought was important. This double-page spread is both in the blocky and image dominated style, something I definitely will not do. My double-page spread will be image dominated with columns of text and other quotes and images carefully placed. The placement of Alexi in the main image also shows his quiet internal desperation proving once more how important pose and positioning is and how affectively it can be used.
