Using pictures as rectangles of different shapes simplifies the design and production process.
The unwanted material around all or part of the subject is removed, either electronically or by graphic artist, and the text is arranged to ‘flow’ around the picture.
A cutout removes the background from a picture – as, for instance, in this picture of a model. The space ‘saved’ can then be filled with text.
Sometimes the text is set over lines of varying length so that it ‘flows’ around the picture, rather than in specific columns, as in this case.
Dropouts
The dropout – or bleach-out - process eliminates tones from a picture, leaving it as a stark black and white image. It is suitable for feature pages, especially for a picture in which the identity of the people involved needs to be concealed.
