There has been some talk recently about whether the golden ratio was really relevant or not. In April, Fast co.design published a popular article that claimed that the golden ratio was one of the top design myths.
I honestly have no clear idea about the golden ratio, but I think it can be a good design tool, even though we shouldn’t try to apply it to every design. Don’t make it what it’s not, it’s just a tool that can be used right or wrong.
To illustrate how wrong the Finabocci sequence can be used, Moscow-based designer Igor kkk re-created some celebrities portraits by applying the golden ratio to them. The results are quite funny, and will definitly make you think.
