Part 2: How to use Golden Ratio in Product Design?
Design Raised to Golden Ratio This blog is in continuation of my previous blog, Design Raised to Golden Ration Part 1. Please read the previous blog to get connected to the reasons of why golden ratio is used in Designs. In this blog, some of the techniques of using golden ratio are shared.
Part 1: Why Do Designers Use Golden Ratio As Their Tool?
Golden Ratio in Nature
As you have read about the presence of golden ratio in nature. Here I am sharing some details on how it is being followed in Nature. And then I will share how should we follow that in our designs.
Golden Ratio in the Human Anatomy

The observation in the above image is, most of the important or noticeable features are placed in such a way that their distances are in the golden ratio.

The observation in the above image is, most drastic change in curves or number of elements present in the composition are in either Golden Ratio or in Fibonacci Series.
There are many such examples present in nature and our daily surroundings. The main intention to focus on the above examples was to bring light to the important ways to replicate the way golden ratio is present in nature. So following are those pointers
Three Important Observations & Their Application
1
Design the product in such way that the height and the width of the overall product are in Golden Ratio.

2
Design the product in such way that the elements inside the product are placed at the distances which are in Golden Ratio.

3
Design the product in such way that the form changes its curvature value at the point which is in Golden Ratio with respect to the full curve.

The above mentioned 3 possibilities of using Golden Ratio as the tool for Product Designing are just a gist of the huge number of possibilities of using it. Now it depends upon your creativity how to make your good design better by using these pointers.
Thank You.
