Ah… your talking PHI my friend. The golden rule, rectangle, and so on. (everyone please google it for all the math, and technical exp) I’m pleased to hear your using that in you design, we all would benefit from this in our designs.

FW did a good bit about that a few years back, probably about the time the DaVinci Code came out, and re-introduced the priciples of design in the natural world. Evident in every plant, animal and man.

I’m especially drawn to furniture with drawers of increasing size. Typically the height of the first drawer stile = the second drawer. the second drawer stile = the third… and so on.

As a graphic designer I find myself using the proportions of PHI in my layouts, and this really makes things look “right.”
