Single post with excerpt on landing page

Forgive me for this simple question, I’m probably missing something really straightforward.
Is there a way to have a single post element featured on a page in Newsmag. For example, there is a Big Grid 2 and Big Grid 3 but I can’t see how to have a Big Grid 1 (with title and excerpt). The Homepage Post automatically stretches full width which isn’t suitable.
thanks

Hi

You can use a post slider block from Visual Composer like here: http://screencast.com/t/6wMUjNLkPM and the rezult will be like here: http://screencast.com/t/y65cmups

Hope this helps.
Thanks!

Thanks Andrei – that looks perfect – appreciate your help!
