1-Pic, Hen-and-Chicken, Magic Triangle
If these three do not make any sense for you, do not even think of preparing a newspaper page.
Several days ago I prepared my page without having clear idea about principles of layout, visuals, cut-outs, etc. In other words, I used my experience as a reader, used all my visual memory to remember how newspaper page looked like and prepared a page. Now I know how unprofessional that page looks.
Well, enough about me.
The three terms I used in headline of this post show what kind of layout visuals might have in an article.One-picture-scenario is called a layout when there is only one picture in the article. It should be large and should somehow express main point of the article.
Hen-and-chicken scenario means that article has two visuals out of which one is a 'hen' and the other - 'chicken', i.e. one is bigger than the other.
And the last option paper designer can arrange visuals is called magic triangle. It's easy to guess that this time we are talking about three visuals but why they are magic I don't know. They just have different size.
P.S. I could never think that disproportion would somwhere and somehow would mean magic.
Here are the examples:
