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.
