Golden Spiral

The idea of the golden spiral suggests that images are more aesthetically pleasing if they conform to the layout of this spiral (to the right).






This image of the flower uses the spiral to show how the golden spiral works. The image is busiest where the spiral begins, and goes out in the line of the spiral.

This image conforms to the golden spiral; as the spiral begins on sara's eye then goes directly to the bottom of her nose, then the top of her head then finishes on the bottom of her elbow. It is also more aesthetically pleasing as the image is busiest in the top third, the bottom two thirds are more similar.
I will keep the golden spiral rule in mind when chosing images to put in my magazine, as it makes the photos look more professionally taken and placed in my magazine.
