Nature’s design secret: The Golden Ratio

PhiMatrix application animation

From ancient architecture and Renaissance masterpieces to Apple’s leading edge template for iOS icons, the golden ratio is the gold standard for design. PhiMatrix gives you dozens of ways to apply it in your own unique way, quickly and easily.

PhiMatrix is inspired by the Golden Ratio. Its grids overlay any image on your screen to quickly and easily identify and apply golden ratio or custom proportions. Analyze and design in seconds. Not a plug-in, but a universal overlay, so you can use it on Windows or Mac with PhotoShop, Illustrator or any other software you use.

Phi, 1.618, known as the Golden Ratio, Golden Section or Divine proportion, appears throughout nature and has long been used by artists, architects, designers, engineers, musicians, photographers, sculptors, surgeons, stock analysts and many others to achieve excellence in their results.

PhiMatrix grid patterns

Note: PhiMatrix Golden Ratio Design includes only grids, diagonals and spirals. PhiMatrix 1.618 Pro includes the other patterns shown above.

Experience and apply the beauty of design in nature

Now you can use it too, quickly and easily. No math, old fashioned gauges or manual calculations needed.  Just select a template, grab and resize to better appreciate what already exists, or to create and design your own works in the same proportions that give nature their beauty, harmony and balance.

Dozens of standard and custom templates to apply in your own unique way

Here’s the concept of the program: No matter what the height or width of the grid, every line on the PhiMatrix grid is in a phi relationship (1.618:1) to the ones on either side of it.

Dozens of standard and custom grid patterns are included.  The applications are limited only by your creativity:
