Hope you guys found this video useful! Let me know if you've ever used the Golden Ratio is your logos below :)
Your video is a golden ratio!
Really really loved this video! I am using the Fibonacci sequence right now. Never heard of it. But already everything looks portioned
I'm beginner in this work, thanks for this video it's very helpful :D
Your instagram link in the outro is off by an “L”
very useful Good bless you
"You're not Leonardo da Vinci... we're designers we're making mockups and websites and stuff." I died LOL. Great info, thanks for sharing!
:)
As a graphic artist who went to art school, we didn’t spent too much time with the Golden Ratio. We used other means like hierarchy, detail, focus and color theory… but ultimately we got the same result. I find it interesting how you can get to the same place with different methods.
The first rule is that you should not use the golden ratio for anything. It's an excellent way to create very boring things to look at. We are not machines and we are not programmed. It's nice to know what the golden ratio is and that's all there is to it. All kinds of art, including design, are dynamic things where a personal touch is very important, it makes us special and different from others. Strict application of various rules would prevent the evolution of design or art, and we would be stuck in a great depression of repetitive crap. So do it the way you feel.
Wow. Nobody was able to explain this so clever like you. Great job . Thank you.
Finally someone explains how to use it! Saw so much videosss and never got to understand HOW i actually apply it. THANK YOU!!!
Next video should be “How use the rule of thirds/ grids to make aesthetically pleasing layouts and compositions” I would love to see that next because there’s so much to unpack in this topic with just showing the “How to’s”
This topic a mini course or series if you have the time plus with pro tips
I upvote this bc I STRUGGLE with this and type.
🙋♀ I found this extremely helpful. Thank you for keeping it practical in this video, as opposed to explaining every detail about where the golden ratio comes from yada yada this is the most useful / helpful / practical video i've found so far on explaining how to apply the theory of the golden ratio to your designs in a way that n00b designers can understand. Good job keep up the good work & thanks for sharing ur wisdom with us!!!!!
Really excited to try this feature out! Amazing work !
Thank you. This is the most helpful and easiest to understand video that I've watched about the golden ratio
Always creative and very insightful
One of the best videos so far, really really helpful. Sometime in future, would you be able to do a video about typography, like generating ideas, and working through it. I think it's been a while since you did one of those right😊
The R.H Logo looks amazing tbh.
Man, come on! This is an amazing video. You are teaching better than our teachers. By the way, I am an architect, and years ago, I never thought that graphic design used the golden ratio. Amazing ! Thank you so much ^^
Always great stuff, keep making it happen!
i just have a WOOOOOOWWW moment when I realize the way to get the sizes of the fonts, that was great
You know more than what you think you know my friend. Respect!
1,2,3,5 arrangement quite helpful to simplify the rules beside using rule of third as example.
Really what’s that explain if you can or want too ? Would love to learn more
Wonderful tutorial
Great video. thank you.
That R H Faction logo is epic. really very pleasing and good looking logo.
Great content, thanks Will.
the logo part was helpful! tnx
Thank you Will. It can really be helpful
Learned alot from You 😍❤
Every time I see your video I always look down at the subscribers wishing it's going to be a million because you have provided such amazing content over the past few years, thanks will.
Maybe one day! Thank you so much for the kind words :)
Thanks Will, super helpful! Learned about the golden ratio years ago but never really applied it. And since I have a logo to work on today… off we go!
Glad it was helpful!
this video is very helpful! thank you!
Great tips!!! Thanks a lot!
Must watch video. Thankyou💐
Very Helpful
Yes brother, it was really helpful
Thanks man finally I got to know after the “Golden Ratio” without even looking for it 🙏🏻
Thank you!
This video helps me a lot thanks bro
never thought using the ratio in the text body!, gonna start to use it,
Damn perfect explanation! Plus one subscriber for you sir.
19 years designing, i never used golden ratio, i just use my taste of making a design, from graphic, interior, product, 3D, web.. less 25% my artwork get rejected. I always cofused about this golden ratio in design, but you explain it so well. thanks
that's pretty cool, thanks
Thank you so much for such valuable video content.
I learned a lot of new concepts from this video. Love you from Pakistan.
1) this video blew my mind. Thank you. 2) envato has saved my bum more times than I can count. It isn’t cheating since you can customize a lot of it. I’m at a nonprofit and small, so in a pinch it REALLY helps.
Thank will for discuss amazing facts. Specially I like the Font sizing with golden ration grate, I loved it. I will use this ration for font sizing. You are requested to make a video on financial report design and layout. thanks
outstanding !
Brilliant video! Thank you so much
You're very welcome!
That's amazing, Thanks for sharing 👍
My pleasure
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Sir 🙏🥤🥤
Very useful! I’m working on a logo and I’m stressing about learning the Golden ratio, but I think I’ll shift towards worrying about the negative space.
Oh no, sorry if I've given you another thing to worry about!
Super usefull. And Super thanks
It gives a structure, it can be helpful indeed.
Love this video! Any video that goes into the deeper levels of graphic design is interesting to me. :-)
Glad you enjoyed it!
"Your not Leonardo da Vinci, lets be honnest" made me laugh so much :D Great video about the golden ratio!
Would love to see something about designing with e-commerce in mind. Would really help me out currently.
Thank you so much
thank you 👊
No problem 👍
I enjoyed this video I must say, The best for me so far...
All my life, you are the only person I've seen that actually used the "wait a sec" phrase literally and appropriately lol.
Thank you
Thanks
I learned new things - thanyou
Hi! Recently I started watching your videos and I have to say I got immediately drawn to your channel. I want to become a graphic designer, mainly doing logos, branding and stuff. However I haven't got any sort of experience and I have to start from the scratch. The career of logo designer seems greatly appealing to me and therefore I want to ask you. Could you recommend any type of course that will show me all of the important stuff that there is to learn about graphic design? As I said my experience is low. I only used to work with Gimp and then with Photoshop to make some banners for youtube, thumbnails or just random compositions.
I'm not good at drawing complex pictures, but I think I'll be realy good with simple and attractive designs. Hoping to get your response and I wish you all the best in the future, because your designs and content are fun and inspiring. Cheers!
Thanks.
Very interested in using the golden ratio in design. Thanks for the advice. One question about your explanation: when you add 1 and 1 to make 2 around 1:20, they dont't add up volume wise.. Same for 1 and 2 etc. Could you explain that?
Great video, Can you tell me what kind of references do u use for characters? What is the best way to draw characters in this style? Thanks
It's totally game changing for me when you are not a logo designer and lack knowledge of grid.
This is a great video. Thank you for sharing. I am crafter and use the rule of thirds in crafting and some in digital stuff I tinjer with. Do have or sell the template(s) you were using in your video?
the new thing I know today Divide text size by 1.168 that`s really helpful.
pathfinder and the shapebuilder have become my good friends in recent years.... when I discovered shapebuilder literally changed Illustrator for me.
Will, once I've finished your tutorials I would totally appreciate it if I could have a certificate from you.
😂
Jk. Your contents are very helpful and specific. Bless you for the help.

Thanks for that. ❤️
I got question for you (or a suggestion for next video):
When do we really need to print with Pantone color and not CMYK?
Sometimes I see the colors are perfect in CMYK but I always feel the need to change them into Pantone Colors but after changing them on Ai the colors aren't those I want.
I know the differences between CMYK and Pantone but I don't really know (or not sure) which to use and when.
Thnx.
I’m digital only, but my print guru at work said “just call the printer and he’ll tell you what to use”. She said in a nutshell it’s literally more about the TYPE of PAPER you’re printing on and the TYPE of PRINTER he’s using.
Of course with CC now requiring a Pantone license I started asking questions like: why can’t we just use hex equivalents. She glared comically. 😂
Nice.
Thanks for making this! I was wondering how the golden ratio worked, I’m going to keep it in mind next time I’m drawing
Glad it was helpful!
would love to know how you define lines width' when you have straight lines in a logo
Can you tell me how to use the golden ratio for a tube diameter and length? Say my tube has a diameter of 4 inches how to calculate the length to make a golden ratio.
finally lesson 5
E sports design its a ver cool theme maybe
Can you make a video about gradient
video on negative and positive space
I hate you, this is dude useful video found from you Will'' I am a beginner and my interest is logo design I never thought to know this ever, graphic design is all about learning always,u said that too,,, thanks allot Sir!
Keep going :)
How do we get the 50% discount on in enVato?
most (popular or well known) designers or design channels i see on this youtube platform do everything else but show the "how to's" except until now in this videos
I thought he was too fast to speak 'til I noticed I sped up the last video I watched to 1.75. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
what is the name of that book behind you, Sir ?
Can you make a video about logo designing in fiverr, that will be so helpful to us!
Please make video on logo design principles
I have many, search through the channel and you'll see them :)
@@willpatersondesign ok I'll check them
A Graphic designer always would be cringing when they see texts anywhere that is off proportions usually in posters or banners. They be like " these texts here aren't at the centre its way more to the left wtf who made this 🤣"
what if the document isn't the dimension in which this golden ratio fit like for example 1080p screen, A4 size or a Square Icon. How do you use this in that scenario? To me golden ratio only seems fit and compatible with it's own rectangular layout.
It's the same no matter what shape. Divide or multiply by 1.618
Golden ratio really do go brrr
😐
Dude, in the logo segment, you just resized a circle. How is that still fitting to the golden ratio rule?
Howabout a video on big companies logo redesign that designers can agree on but people/consumers actually hate. Usually due to simplification or flat design.
Arigato Gyro.

The original height of the Great Pyramid at Giza was 5778" which corresponds with the 5778K temperature of the Sun. It's face to base ratio corresponds with the Golden Ratio. The Golden Ratio raised to the +18th POWER is approximately 5778. And if you add it's opposite (the Golden Ratio raised to the -18th POWER) you'll get the number exact. Nice design........
Thanks for this video. We don't need the golden ratio. It's only a guide
Just discovered: Mickey Mouse image - is in golden ratio too... (circles of ears and face...) 😆
I use to drink Huel.
Hahaha now when people give me the ratio, I'm gonna give the golden ratio
Do you have to follow these rules for a successful peace?
I get it , but then I don’t get it 😂, like why do you need the golden ratio to Create these balanced circle designs when you could just create a circle and constantly use that one?!
