2. These are normally used to
break up large amounts of text
or catch the reader’s eye. Here
it is being used to draw the
reader’s attention to an area of
the article. A normal article is
likely to only contain one drop
cap. The drop cap on this DSP is
formatted in the magazines
colour scheme so it matches.
The articles highlighted by the
drop caps are important articles
about the page’s main focus.

3. The CVI is used to present a visual
representation of the article’s focus.
In this case the image is of the band
leaning on a brightly coloured 1960’s
Ford. The image was taken in 1966
and provides a nostalgic atmosphere
for the reader. The band’s poses and
facial expressions are very
calm, relaxed, positive and happy.
The image to the left of the CVI is a
smaller image of Marriot (the
article’s focus). The image is of him in
his home in 1966 and shows not only
how old the band is but also the
primitive technology they used. The
bulky recording equipment that he is
using reminds us that even though
they had little technology they still
made great music which is still
remembered today.

4. A stand first is used to introduce
the article and put it into
context. Here the stand first
introduces the band as it is likely
the reader would not know or
not remember them due to the
fact they were active over 50
years ago. The second half of
the stand first talks about the
focus of the spread (Marriot)
and introduces him and his
career before Small Faces.

5. Captions are used to put an
image into context. On this
page they are used to explain
the CVI and help the reader
identify the members. They are
used on the other images to
show that the images are of
Marriot and help to show the
time differences in them. This
helps the reader compare that
time period to our current one
and notice the disadvantages
they had due to the lack of
technology.
