…and the Golden Ratio

*The golden ratio, also known as the golden number, golden proportion or the divine proportion, is a ratio between two numbers that equals approximately 1.618. Usually written as the Greek letter phi, it is strongly associated with the Fibonacci sequence, a series of numbers wherein each number is added to the last. -[Adobe.com](https://www.adobe.com/uk/creativecloud/design/discover/golden-ratio.html#:~:text=The golden ratio%2C also known,is added to the last.)*

Here are two examples of the golden ratio I found on the web. The first is from a movie called “In the Mood for Love” by Wong Kar Wai, this shows how the golden ratio is not only prevalent in nature, photography and art, but also in cinematography.

Fibonacci in Point, Line and Plane

Here is my exploration of the Fibonacci sequence in the context of point, line and plane.

Each point line and plane are numbers within the Fibonacci sequence. For example, in the frame below, the largest square is 377x377, the next 233x233 and so on.

Fibonacci in Type

Here is my example of using the Fibonacci sequence in typography. I was able to achieve this by using the website Typescale.com and selecting the golden ratio option for scale.

I feel that the use of the golden ratio here makes for a well balanced look that would not be otherwise achievable without using the Fibonacci sequence as scale.
