Pixels To Print: The Golden Ratio

When applying this idea to a design, it's often represented as a spiral, rectangle, or circles. First you create a square, giving you the base proportion of 1:1. If you then divide the square by 1.618, you now have the next step to add to your square. Continue adding squares, and add an arc to the outer edge of each square to give you the spiral.

Have a look at some of the examples below to see how the Golden Ratio was used in each real life instance:

Try to actively incorporate this ratio in your designs and see if you notice a difference. Have any questions about this topic or need some design help? Reach out to NorthPoint's Design Team!
