GEOMETRY OF THE PAGE

GEOMETRY OF THE PAGE
A free resource of page canons
 
This set of 17 drawings are based on the Golden Ratio, root rectangles and 2:3 rectangles (1:√φ, 1:√2, 1:√3, 1:√5) which are particularly pleasing as page layouts. I painstakingly worked these out and used them for my own research into the beginnings of graphic design of the page. They are based on page canons and I am happy to share them here. Use these drawings as blueprints to compose your own images. For more compositional tools, please see our Golden Section Compositional Tool, part of the Copper Golden Ratio set.
