double page spread research

Imagery:- The main image is placed on the left page of the double page spread which is ideal as this is where the audience’s eyes first look at, the primary optical area. There is a secondary image situated in the weak fallow area and both images have a slight filter placed upon the original image. The images displayed create an impression of the genre of music that the band produces which is rock and the clothing and scenery within the mise en scene reinforce this. Also the colours used within the pictures connote to the genre of music, black, grey and a hint of red suggest their music genre. Design balance/symmetry:- The page layout is rather symmetrical and balanced as there is a similar amount of text paired with a main image and secondary image. This creates more of a formal aspect to the design layout as it seems to been taken into consideration about the relationship between both components. Despite the main image filling up a whole page, it is relevant and effective however there is slightly less text as there due to spacing on the page. The balance between images and text is level and allows easy reading for the reader, as the pictures allow the audience to make a connection. House style:- The use of black bold text creates a similar impact as the genre of music that Kasabian produce, powerful and in-your-face. It’s bold and is easy to distinguish what the text says because of the size and how it stands out against the plain background. The model credit and the drop caps is in the same font allowing the audience to realise that the article is involving Kasabian, if not already established. Black and white is a reoccurring theme throughout this double page spread as it is demonstrated between the blank background and black text but also within the secondary image, due to the filter.

Page 1: Double Page Spread Research

Imagery:- The main image is

placed on the left page of the

double page spread which is ideal

as this is where the audience’s eyes

first look at, the primary optical

area. There is a secondary image

situated in the weak fallow area and

both images have a slight filter

placed upon the original image. The

images displayed create an

impression of the genre of music

that the band produces which is

rock and the clothing and scenery

within the mise en scene reinforce

this. Also the colours used within

the pictures connote to the genre of

music, black, grey and a hint of red

suggest their music genre.

Design balance/symmetry:- The

page layout is rather symmetrical

and balanced as there is a similar

amount of text paired with a main

image and secondary image. This

creates more of a formal aspect to

the design layout as it seems to

been taken into consideration about

the relationship between both

components. Despite the main

image filling up a whole page, it is

relevant and effective however

there is slightly less text as there

due to spacing on the page. The

balance between images and text is

level and allows easy reading for

the reader, as the pictures allow the

audience to make a connection.

House style:- The use of black bold

text creates a similar impact as the

genre of music that Kasabian

produce, powerful and in-your-face.

It’s bold and is easy to distinguish

what the text says because of the

size and how it stands out against

the plain background. The model

credit and the drop caps is in the

same font allowing the audience to

realise that the article is involving

Kasabian, if not already established.

Black and white is a reoccurring

theme throughout this double page

spread as it is demonstrated

between the blank background and

black text but also within the

secondary image, due to the filter.
