For example, if you overlay the Golden Spiral on an image, you can make sure that the focal point is in the middle of the spiral. Designer Kazi Mohammed Erfan even challenged himself to create 25 new logos entirely based on the Golden Ratio.
The result? Simple, balanced, and beautiful icons. Here are five tools to help you use the Golden Ratio in your designs:. Look at your hands. Even your fingers follow the Golden Ratio. The human eye is used to seeing this magical number and we subconsciously react positively to it. As designers, we can use this number to our advantage. Even small tweaks to the way you crop an image or develop a layout can dramatically improve how your users interact with your design.
Watch it now. You also face the issue that your convinced somehow that the ratio is a two dimensional rectangle being applied to three dimensional shapes I have. When you apply mathematics to soft sciences that vary aka anything that is being used to measure living things. Your argument quite bluntly disproves all medical sciences because no two people have identical hearts and since its not identical mathematically it must mean the theory behind heart disease is wrong because EVERY heart is not identical.
To disprove a theory such as this you cannot disprove it as you have. That's not how science works. You have to attempt to prove it and find what breaks it so completely that is disproven. Please site an example that none of them matched not just a majority.
You seem to have made many test but refuse to examine the averages that fall almost exactly on the ratio. No ones ratio will be exactly 1. But the more times you test it the closer to 1. The golden ratio is not an exact answer. But put your results through calculus graphing. You'll find like limits, the more samples you take the closer to the limit 1.
You have not disproven or even dented the golden ratio argument. You have only argued variable facts that supporters of the golden ratio theories have already successfully explained the apparent discrepancies of. If you simply ignore the fact that math is the measurement of patterns in nature and that the golden ratio is the continuously occuring pattern in life You did not disprove the golden ratio, you disproved math and science. When math disproves itself it typically means the person was wrong as math cannot disprove itself by its nature.
I believe that your mis-printing of the ratio fraction is the primary cause. Your equation is basically converting pi to 3. That kind of early conversion of a fixed number causes massive discrepancies in your math. I assume you expecting exacting answers in a soft science, refusing to view all of your result objectively via scatter plot or averages led to this extreme inconsistencies in your attempted disprovable of this theory.
The nature of life is its an approximation, a rounding of a universal equation we have not unlocked. But the golden ratio is ultimately part of it as the golden ratio is the closest number we can get to infinite.
Two methods for the same results. Just 15! For the Voyager spacecraft this imprecision equates with an error of its position of only 1. PatronDemon, having read the Wikipedia article on the Golden Ratio, I do require now some proof of your horror.
That is also the definition and derivation quoted by the author. The Wikipedia article also lists your continued fraction as an alternate formulation for the same number. Where's the horror? This is a direct copy without the link.
I agree with some of your points at a high level, but at the very least they do have the equation correct. It's not an approximation -- the irrationality is derived from the square root of 5. I was caught off guard myself when I first saw such a simply-defined expression being equated to phi.
Personally, the significance of the square root of 5 reminds me of the dodecahedron made of pentagons which Plato thought to represent the cosmos.
Wow, thank you so much. Somehow you manage to help me understanding a lot more about statistic and how math should be applied in soft science. I'm not an expert on the field though, so I can only give you this message as appreciation for taking time to explain this throughly.
I also understand more why calculus is so important in finding the limit, something which evade me for 2 years of watching youtube video on the subject. Chris, I was doing my due diligence for a project I wanted to do concerning the golden ratio and wanted to provide an example of the golden ratio or golden spiral in nature and web page after page gave me "examples" of what I thought I was looking for.
Upon closer inspection, it seemed wild conjecture that the spiral used was a golden spiral and was in reality, I thought, just a logarithmic spiral of which there can be many types. I also saw many works of art with golden rectangles all over them showing positions of features.
Seeing these, I thought I could take any photo or work of art and go golden rectangle hunting to find these relationships among the features.
I thought the whole thing a scam or I was missing some point until I saw your article that expressed my state of mind perfectly. I do like your inclusive of the fact that the golden ratio does not need any embellishment.
I do think the ratio to be pleasing and have included in some furniture designs I have done but understand that this choice might not be the most appealing to all. When faced with design choices on placement, considering golden ratio relationships is not a bad place to start. Skip to main content. Chris Budd. A spiral shape constructed from the golden rectangle.

Very true, thanks for Permalink Submitted by Marianne on April 27, Very true, thanks for pointing that out. We have corrected it. Now a US academic believes he has discovered the reason why it pleases the eye. According to Adrian Bejan, professor of mechanical engineering at Duke University, in Durham, North Carolina, the human eye is capable of interpreting an image featuring the golden ratio faster than any other.
Bejan argues that an animal's world — whether you are a human being in an art gallery or an antelope on the savannah — is orientated on the horizontal. For the antelope scanning the horizon, danger primarily comes from the sides or from behind, not from below or above, so the scope of its vision evolved accordingly. As vision developed, he argues, animals got "smarter" and safer by seeing better and moving faster as a result.
When you look at what so many people have been drawing and building, you see these proportions everywhere. The Fibonacci sequence starts with 0 and 1, and proceeds by adding the previous two numbers.
What are the first 10 Fibonacci numbers? The so-called "golden rectangle" has appeared in architecture for centuries. Perhaps the most famous golden rectangles are the proportions of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece.
What do you think the proportions of a golden rectangle are? A golden rectangle uses the golden ratio: 1 short side by 1. Fibonacci sequences are everywhere in your body. Look at yourself in the mirror: two eyes , two ears , two nostrils in one nose , five fingers on an arm with three segments hand, forearm, upper arm.
Fibonacci numbers are even encoded in your DNA. Each DNA molecule is 34 angstroms long and 21 angstroms wide: a golden ratio. Don't look too closely, though! Just like the four-leaf clover, there are plenty of natural sequences that do not correspond to the golden ratio. A full set of permanent teeth, for instance, is 32—not a Fibonacci number. Your heart has four chambers—not a Fibonacci number.
