The Golden Ratio is a mathematical proportion that has been studied for centuries. It is used in many aspects of design and is believed to be harmonious and aesthetically pleasing.
In the diagram above I drew the golden ratio diagram that is as so:
Width divided by 1.618 to get height of rectangle, and so on.
I then created columns from the diagram which can be seen in the photo. I did this by flipping the golden ratio around to make the measurements on the opposite side of the rectangle.
This grid is used often in web design and could be a starting point for our own designs for web.
Potentials
A neatly thought out layout with ideal proportions
Avoids boring straightforward symmetry and introduces contrasting proportions
Problems
Quite unnecessary in modern design
Restricting if small changes are wanting to be made
