1 Fibonacci and the Golden Section

Tweet

These 2 videos may help designers understand  better The Golden Section and how it's applied in design today! If you don't know what I'm talking about I strongly recommend the  book called: Geometry of Design by Kimberly Elam. The book might be a little tricky to understand but it's a good reference to have and read over and over again

I found these great logo designs with transparency, They are very harmonious and colorful. As a designer I know how hard it is to get a harmonious balance between colors without overpowering the  final composition and I think that these designers accomplished that in a very beautiful way.
