Fibonacci

Let's begin with a little math. Remember Fibonacci?

First, let's watch this:

How do we apply to photography?

How did this all start?

From the website:

If that is too hard to see,

Use the overlay I've provided here:

Tah dah! You have already been using this theory in your work!

Now let's use this theory purposefully.

Open PS.
Go to File > New> 24x36 300 ppi document (that's a 35mm negative size).
Go to View> show> grid
Click on the rectangle shape to create small squares that correspond to the fib spiral.
Change the color code for each square the different squares. KEEP IN THE SAME COLOR FAMILY (monochromatic)
Click on the pen tool (quick key is the letter P)
Go to layer> new layer
Starting from your smallest square, at the center of the spiral, click and draw diagonals through each
Using the curve points, make each line a smooth curve.
Click on your text tool to add text to the pen pathway!
Once you have made your geometric spiral (with only diagonals) hold down the option key and hover over the points. Notice it turns into a "V"
Holding down the option key, drag the point to it goes from a diagonal to a curve.
Repeat this for each point until the spiral is a smooth curve
Click on your text tool
Go to layer> new layer
Hover it over you FIRST POINT
Wait to see the text icon with a SQUIGGLY DOTTED LINE on it.
Click and begin typing using a COMPLEMENTARY color to your background
Write me a note about FIBONACCI! Have you seen it before? If so where? Why do you think it is important to apply this theory to your work?
