Cannons of page construction
A method of constructing a page, how structure can give order. Grid systems can be restrictive, and encourage laziness and are inappropriate in some circumstances and give inappropriate or untrue justification for something.
The Golden Ratio
'Divine Proportion' is supposedly the most appealing structure for aesthetics.
The maths to do the Golden Ratio is 100/1.618 = 61.80.
The maths to do the Golden Ratio is 100/1.618 = 61.80.
As a page layout not used so much but relevant for point sizes in type.
12pt for body copy and 19.4pt for potential pull out quote etc. Column sizes are also to the ratio.
After drawing Divine Proportion a few times I also tried to apply them on some pictures (portrait and landscape) in a magazine.
van de Graaf
The maths to do the van de Graaf is 2:3.
Compositions are defined by the corners of the 'bow tie' section
Justify your own approach to page construction, does it use a canon? what does it relate to? how will the target audience identity or receive it.
