Textual annalysis of a double page spread

This double page spread is set out with a photo on one page and text on the other. The image is a medium shot taken in what seems like a studio. The mast head has a large, bold font and other than the mast head and name of the band this is the only colour used on the page, the black and white traditional font/page scheme makes it look professional and informative. The text size is fairly large and set out in two colunms which also makes the text look informative. The contrast of the image is dark which contrasts the white background on the next page making the image stand out.

The subheading has a white background and as it overlaps the photo it looks like it has been cut out from a piece of paper which looks creative. There is an aditional feature in te riht hand corner of the photograph which features some text, this breaks the photo up.
