Double Page Spread Analysis 1

The Masthead uses a very old fashioned and sophisticated typography. It uses a simple White font which the 'of' behind. This could suggest mysteriousness and that they are the sort of band that hide in the shadows which could also connote the type of music genre they play. It could be niche as it is in the shadows and not as big as mainstream.
