... A 16- by 10.875-inch rectangle containing precisely 174 square inches of possibility, made from two sheets of paper glued and bound together. Legendary magazine art director and Pentagram partner D. J. Stout calls the science of filling this box with artful compositions of type and images "variations on a rectangle." That is, in any given issue of a magazine-this one, for example-subjects and stories will change, but as a designer, you're still dealing with the same ol' blank white box. At wired, our design team sees this constraint as our daily bread. On every editorial page, we use words and pictures to overcome the particular restric- tions of paper and ink: We can't animate the infographics (yet).
