Loop for Featured post section in my WordPress Theme

Hi. I am making a WordPress Theme with this Foundation Template:

http://foundation.zurb.com/templates-previews-sites-f6/news-magazine.html

I need to make a featured post section but the problem is that the post thumbnail images has different sizes.

Promoted Article is a big picture but not the rest of the featured section (Other Cool Articles).

How can i use the loop for get the post from the featured category in different sizes? I ' m tried with WP_Query but i obtain the same post again... this is the code:

<div class="row">
    <?php
    // WP_Query arguments
    $args = array (
    'posts_per_page'         => '1',
    );
    $miQuery = new WP_Query( $args );
?>
    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( $miQuery->have_posts() ) : $miQuery->the_post(); ?>
    <div class="medium-8 columns">

<?php the_post_thumbnail('large')?>

<?php rewind_posts(); ?>


    </div>



<div class="medium-4 columns">

    <?php the_post_thumbnail('large')?>

</div>
    <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

</div>

Sorry for my english...

This is the section:

As you can see the problem is the different sizes...

You could supply different arguments in a slightly different post template. You'll need to study the template hierarchy to see if you can do this so one template would be for your promoted article and featured category article.

So it'll be 2 templates for 2 different purposes.

Only the featured post section is the problem because the posts has different sizes. One big image for one post, and other medium image for another.
