The simplicity and elegance of this is mind-boggling. No need for complicated programs or complex measuring devices. The harmony of page design begins with this simple theory – and all it takes is a ruler, a pencil, and a piece of paper. Take a look at this post by Retinart and see how this theory has informed page and book design throughout the ages, including present day. It’s like getting a whole course in book design in one fell swoop. Very cool.

Very interesting, I think this will be worth trying for the engagement photo books I’m creating. I’d be curious to know how to apply it with multiple elements on the page (so 3 photos on each side for example). Very informative and inspiring nonetheless!
