Main task: Double page spread textual analysis

There is no real colour scheme to this double page spread (DPS) seeing as it is simply a photo, which gives off a feeling of an up-beat loud “gig”. The photo is spread over both pages with the text printed over it. However, you often get a DPS when the picture is on one page and is bleeding on to the other page to link the two together.
The band, which is displayed in the photo, is discussed in the small print on the right page, but it is “disguised” in the larger bold print which bleeds over both pages. You would usually find a quote from the interview with the band on a DPS, however there is not one on this one as it is a simple double page spread.

As you can see the stand font is the text which says “Gentlemen of the road”. The stand font is basically always used at the start of a written of an article. This article doesn’t have a Drop capital which is on most articles which is to show where the reader is to start reading.
The headline for this article is quite large with a standard font. This is mainly to draw the reader in and as you can see it is “Gentlemen of the road” in this case. The “by-line” is where the journalists name is written and the photographer is credited. On this DPS it Is in the bottom left hand corner.

Usually, a DPS is laid out in columns; however this one is just one small paragraph on the right hand side of the page. Again, there is no “Strap-line” in this DPS. Strap lines are used to tell you the subject matter.
