How to Create Golden Ratio in Illustrator?

Published in Golden Ratio Design 1 min read

You can create the golden ratio in Adobe Illustrator by dividing a value by 1.618.

Here's a breakdown of how to do it, based on the provided reference:

  1. Access the Value Field: Select the object you want to resize or adjust based on the golden ratio. Go to the value field (e.g., width or height).
  2. Divide by the Golden Ratio: Type a forward slash / followed by 1.618. This will divide the current value by the golden ratio (approximately 1.618).
  3. Apply the Change: Press Return (or Enter) on your keyboard to apply the calculation. Illustrator will automatically calculate the new value based on the golden ratio.

For example, if you want to reduce the width of a rectangle to be proportionally related to its height according to the golden ratio, you would select the rectangle, go to the width field, and enter /1.618. This will resize the width accordingly.
