Golden Ratio
By Firas Saad
Even those who deny it, they use it without realizing it, but without mathematical calculations. Their justification is that art is not math, and they are right. But mathematical equations help in understanding the study of science.
It is a proportion that is aesthetically pleasing to the human eye because it forms the basis of many proportions of the human body. Scientists have discovered that there is a fixed ratio between the sides of the body and the formation of the organs of animals, plants and the universe.
For example, if you divide the length of a bone in your hand by the number 1.618, you will find that the result is equal to the length of the smaller bone next to it.
The golden ratio, also known as the golden number, golden proportion, or divine proportion, is a ratio between two numbers approximately equal to 1.618, usually written with the Greek letter phi (Φ).

Try using the golden ratio, as it is a mathematical method for creating focal points in both art and nature. Use the golden ratio as a guideline for your work to make sure things are nicely spaced out and well composed. By using the rule of thirds or the golden ratio, you can create contrast and add visual interest to your design that pleases to the eye and makes the content easy to understand. Ultimately, spacing is important and any kind of guideline is helpful. “If everything is important, then nothing is important,” says human factors engineering student Sara Berndt.
Fans of the golden ratio confirm that it is an aesthetically pleasing ratio. It is common in nature and human bodies, but it varies from one individual to another. The Golden ratio is found in many places in nature, however the most popular one is the gastropod shell, which is seen on snails and other organisms, the patterns of a turtle's shell, and the body of a horse. Leaves, pine cone seeds, sunflower seeds, and other seeds tend to grow in patterns that approximate the golden ratio.
If you start applying the Golden Ratio to your work, you can improve your designs with a few simple tweaks and create beautiful-looking images that better help you interact with your audience. The golden ratio exists and is a complete truth that will help you produce any work of art, industrial design or even paper layout. Look at the ratio of your hand to your forearm and you will know what the golden ratio is and its benefit that helps a person use his hand every day.
The golden ratio is found not only in the human body and in beautiful human creations, but also everywhere in the natural world, art, music and architecture.
Use the golden ratio to choose your colors. You can use the ratio of 1.618:1 to create a color palette that is pleasing to the eye.
Famous logos that were created by using the golden ratio:
Many popular logos follow the Golden Ratio. For example, Apple, Pepsi, Twitter, National Geographic, Master Card and many international companies.
The yellow rectangle of the National Geographic logo is a simple Golden Rectangle. The ratio of the outer width to the external length, and the inner width to the inner length, is 1:1.618.
If you decide to use the golden ratio as a basis for your art or design, it can help your project look even, balanced, and aesthetically pleasing. But your ratios don't have to be exactly 1.618 as long as you design deliberately and creatively.
