Golden Ratio

[RiXaX]

Anyone have ideas about how to apply the Golden Ratio to sign design?

Here's what Adobe says: https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/design/discover/golden-ratio.html

Easier to think in thirds. Draw an imaginary tic tac toe grid evenly on your sign shape. Place things you want to emphasize at the intersections of the lines. (That's a kind of intersectionality I can get behind). Or along the lines, since we are typically dealing with lines of text.

The same way you would apply it to any layout. Too much maths for me, I just eyeball it.

16pt headline/logo, 10pt subtext, and scale it up to max out your alotted sq.ft. permitted.

It's available as an overlay in Lightroom...

Connected to the Fibonacci series, not to be confused with the Fabinocci sequence

Or if you are old school, sketch around a cigarette packet on the back of an envelope (ISTR that Marlboro packets are golden ratio)

Did not know about lightroom, but I see it's available in the crop tool in photoshop as well.

That figures - I do almost all my batching and image editing in LR, so makes sense it's available in PS
