What do you think about this? Has anyone of you used/designed with this ratio?
Personally, I never used it. I can't find examples where you can compare same forms where one was built using the golden ratio and the other one doesn't.
I used it on a few projects in school but not much in the professional world. Original iPod body was based on the 1.618 ratio
In other news, I heard that Dogme 95 was just something Lars Von Trier made up. Seriously, the myth is that there is any mathematical system behind graphic design. These are just excuses to try to convince the client to accept your work. There is no problem and no solution. Read some Paul Rand.
Stupid article from someone who is clearly ignorant.
Wanna understand how the golden ratio is the key to the universe?
The golden ration is a good starting point. A good way of thinking. But I don't think anyone is downloading some Golden Ratio Photoshop extension in order to precisely design a logo to a specific size.
...they do actually, as a front-end developer sometimes I check the invisible layers on Photoshop and BAM! a golden ratio img.
