The text the used for “Mark Ronson” uses very large text; the reason is because the size and boldness of the text the reader’s eyes will be drawn to it. Then your eyes will follow down to “No covers, no smugness…” which will interest the reader making them want to read the article.Unlike the “Mark Ronson” part, the writing prior to it “The revenge of” serves is something that you wouldn’t have your eyes drawn as, this instead serves as a border instead of attracting the readers attention.

The image of the artist smashing the trumpet which will make the reader curious, it also relates to the “…cross-his-heart-and-hope-to-die no trumpets.”
