This sequence is not only evident within design but also nature.

Fibonacci sequence - aesthetic quality for using these proportions

55 point title should be complemented with 34 point body copy by applying Fibonacci's sequence.

The Fibonacci Sequence is the series of numbers:
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...
The next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it.
  • The 2 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+1)
  • Similarly, the 3 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+2),
  • And the 5 is (2+3) and so on.
Here is a longer list:
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, 10946, 17711, 28657, 46368, 75025, 121393, 196418, 317811, ...

1 + 5 = 6
5 + 6 = 11
6 + 11 = 17
11 + 17 = 28
17 + 28 = 45
45 + 73 =118
73 + 118 = 192
118 + 192 = 310
