The pattern

This still is filed under Headline · visual lockup.

Define

Headline and picture are one sentence. Remove either half and the claim disappears.

Mechanism

Lockup. The line names what the image will not. The image shows what the line cannot. They are not redundant.

Verdict

We have a picture that completes a short line: wit, contrast, or a second meaning.

Why it works

Steal this when

When you need a clean layout. *Collection note: The 1923 Bauhaus yearbook: Bayer's title typography, Moholy's layout and the school's first published design system* ---
