another example.

I was flicking through Behance, and thought I might as well type in 'Golden Ratio' to the search box to see if anything cool came up. I found this one guy called Luuk Vermeyden, who stumbled across this theory of the Golden Ratio in an Art History book whilst creating this artwork. He subsequently used the Golden Spiral to position the image of the girl in the theoretically 'correct' place.

Here's a link to the project:

And here is the work he produced:



The final image.



The image with the Golden Spiral overlaid.

Interesting, eh? Perhaps so...but it's also interesting to wonder whether there might have been a chance that if he had not stumbled across this theory, would he have placed the image in an equally logical, or perhaps even the same position?

I best guess would be to say yes; placing the image dead centre would perhaps make for a dull and uninteresting display, and similarly placing the image right up to one edge may just look ridiculous...

However I may be wrong, perhaps every solution is equally as valid as each other, but this particular one  just happens to match up to an irrational ratio.
