Post your answers to this question as comments to this blog. if you want a hint, see if this inspires your thinking. Warning: None of this is rocket science ... it can't be, and shouldn't be, as precise as a mathematical equation ... I think creatives in the communications industry think more like artists, and aesthetics trumps mathematics when the two conflict in practice.

In all of the following pictures, there is a sense of style represented at the top of the pictures and newspapers. The Parthenon has doric columns. A lot of past and present architectural structures have doric, ionic, or corinthian styles of columns.
All of the pictures have some form of grid that help them put it together. The Parthenon wasn't just built on a whim, someone had to plan it and make some sort of blueprint or "grid" so the workers would know where to put each stone. The other pictures are of newspapers and we all know that they use grids in order to know where to place each article and each graphic on the page.

Everything in the pictures are made up of straight lines of either squares or rectangles and the pictures on the pages centered and have a symmetrical look to them
They all use grids
All of the pictures are ways to use grids. It's proof that grids throughout time have been a standard way to design or structure their creations. It's a golden forumla that is believed to have a pyscholical effect to seem perfect to human brains. It's a time tested standard that will never go away, because so far it hasn't gone away.
In all of the articles/pictures,they have one main thing in common...they all are some type of grid, or way or organizing information that is set forth. With the articles, there is a specific way that the information is presented & set up on the page. And within the architech structure, lies a whole plot of organizing, which brings the duty of the grid forward. When the many people built the structure, there had to be a lot of planning, organizing, and plotting going into the project.
In all of the pictures shown, a grid (in one form or another) was used. The golden ratio applies because of the symmetry and aestetical/visual interest it provides. The Parthenon has been shown to architecturally approximate this ratio, while the magazine cover uses the heads/faces of two humans (who shall remain nameless) and the human head can also be divided by the golden ratio. The last two images are the front pages of various newspapers. Newspapers often use rectangles for headlines, text and picture boxes. The rectangle (with correct measurements) is one of the simpilest objects to attain the golden ratio.
