The rule of thirds can apply to ‘print media’ as for things such as posters and CD covers, they need to have the correct spacingand have the correct attributes withinthe proper placing. This can link to the lines of sightwithinsuch as the ‘primary optical area’ and the ‘terminal area’, these areas link to the positioningwithinthings, and thus also to print media.
