Callouts (AKA pullquotes) serve many purposes. The most basic simply fill space or break up large, unappealing expanses of gray type. But the best callouts are active. They draw readers who would otherwise pass by, summarize articles, establish themes, set waypoints, reveal meaning and even tell sub-stories.
