Keeping creativity flowing

These are tough times. Though we’ve all been suffering in our own ways, some of us, like me, have been luckier and less affected than others. I’ve had the good fortune and privilege of being able to keep my job as an illustrator at Shopify, and continue working remotely. I’m grateful for that every day.

The Golden Ratio and User-Interface Design

The Golden Ratio and User-Interface Design

Proportional systems are based on ratios and have been used for centuries in architecture and art. The golden ratio was first mentioned as early as about 500 BC by Phidias, Plato, and then Euclid. It is fair to assume that this ratio has been discovered several times throughout history — hence its many names, including golden mean, golden ratio, golden section, divine proportion (coined by Leonardo Da Vinci) and the Greek symbol φ.  A study by Giacomo Rizzolatti and Cinzia Di Dio suggests that human brains are hard-wired to prefer human bodies with proportions in the golden ratio. In the study, participants with no background in art, were shown an original image and distorted versions of a statue. The original statue’s proportions reflected the golden ratio. The original image strongly activated sets of brain cells that the distorted images did not, suggesting beauty is partly an innate quality.

sin dal sedicesimo secolo, quando un anonimo tipografo prese una cassetta di caratteri e li assemblò per preparare un testo campione. È sopravvissuto non solo a più di cinque secoli, ma anche al passaggio alla videoimpaginazione, pervenendoci sostanzialmente inalterato. Fu reso popolare, negli anni ’60, con la diffusione dei fogli di caratteri trasferibili “Letraset”, che contenevano passaggi del Lorem Ipsum, e più recentemente da software di impaginazione come Aldus PageMaker, che includeva versioni del Lorem Ipsum.
