In this Adobe Illustrator tutorial, we will create our very own golden ratio spiral rectangle (Fibonacci sequence) and then use the techniques we’ve learned to create a series of circles that we can overlay on a sketch in Illustrator and use the Shaper Tool to quickly hack away and join shapes together to create a simple flat, negative space icon. This technique is effective for so many different design applications and I think you’ll really love this! Thanks for watching!

I owe my entire career to you Tutvid. I am a single mother who learned Adobe products using your tutorials years ago! I was a secretary and I volunteered to do graphic design work and web design work using WordPress. Eventually I proved my worth and now our business management company has a marketing department where's before we didn't. So thanks for everything! ❤️

Thank you for making this video! I haven't even finished it yet and it's already 10x more helpful than other golden ratio design videos because you're actually explaining your step by step thought process of how to USE the circles. All other videos just show them laying over various circles in hyperlapse to make designs with background music and I just leave confused because they didn't talk about how the circles work in the design, the roles the circles and the ratio play, how to apply it to my own design, nothing. All in all, THANK YOU for making this SO much easier to understand.

Thanks for giving such a clear and well illustrated demonstration of this idea. Most I've seen before have had dozens of shapes, but your use of just a handful, and your concise explanation, have finally got it through to me. Cheers!

Loved it. Heard of the golden ratio and Fibonacci sequence, but had no idea how to put them to practical use. Additionally, not that great at math, and having knowledge of the math feature as well as the correct numbers, wow! Made my day. Now, seven years later, just need to get the courage to believe I can still create. Thank you. I'll be watching this several times.

I begin my second quarter tomorrow as a graphic designer with very little computer experience but tons of experience with sacred geometry. I want my designs to have more meaning and designed like nature. The Golden Ratio is crucial. Love the vid.

I've spent my life with Geometry and ø. Huge universe. You probably know that the circle can be divided into two arcs of the Ø ratio. This creates a lot of cool relationships. Thanks for the video and akso the magnifying glass that pinpoints what you are doing and where you are doing it from.

@dkalambokis78 5 жыл бұрын

Do not use tutorials or videos to apply Fibonacci's theory in your designs. You only need to understand the Math. 2-3-5 is Fibonacci aka Golden Ratio. If it is applied on shape's size, length, or color, is on you. A well-balanced graphic or logo has nothing to do with the above explanation.
