USING THE GOLDEN RATIO PRINCIPLE TO CREATE A CONTINUOUS PRINT BY MEANS OF THE GRAPHIC PROGRAM ADOBE ILLUTRATOR®
Abstract
This paper aims to exemplify the use of the golden ratio principle for the creation of a continuous print. The ratio of 1:1.618 signifies the bases for the creation of the componing elements of the print and corresponds to the rapport. The print is achieved using the graphics program Adobe Illustrator®, starting with the drawing of the rectangle in which the circles, which are the components of the print, will be framed. Adobe Illustrator® is a program that specializes in creating and editing vector graphics. This program has become one of the most popular software in the industry for creating vector graphics that can be scaled and edited without losing resolution or clarity. The program allows you to draw both simple and complex shapes using various tools and palettes, logos, sketches, illustrations. Objects created in Adobe Illustrator can be printed or published exactly as they were made. The subsequent use of the print as well as of the single base element is multiple, this paper describes needed steps for creating a continuous print, but the single initial element can be used for a placed print in a smaller size, such as logo which is the most representative form of product identification. A closer look reveals that the Fibonacci sequence has found its usefulness in a variety of activities, including art, sculpture, architecture, music, and graphics.
