Common Mistakes to Avoid
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Forcing the golden ratio where it does not serve the design
The golden ratio is one of many useful proportions. It is not inherently superior. Use it when it produces good visual results, not as a dogmatic rule. 1.5, √2, and other ratios are equally valid.
Confusing the golden ratio with the rule of thirds
The rule of thirds divides at 1:2 (33%/67%). The golden ratio divides at approximately 38%/62%. They produce different composition points.
