Rule of Thirds & Golden Ratio
With horizontal and vertical [guide] lines, the Rule of Thirds is a composing tool that enables the alignment and flow of a subject and their intersecting points. As given in the name, the grid is split into thirds, with 2 horizontal and 2 vertical lines making a total of 9 boxes. This grid system can be seen used in popular photo editing software such as Adobe Photoshop and allows the viewer to see a sense of balance in the image.
The approximate Golden Ratio is 1.618.
Golden Ratio: The Golden ratio is a special number found by dividing a line into two parts so that the longer part divided by the smaller part is also equal to the whole length divided by the longer part. It is often symbolized using phi, after the 21st letter of the Greek alphabet. a/b = (a+b)/a = 1.6180339887498948420.
Unlike the Rules of third, the Golden ratio uses curved lines as well as horizontal and vertical.
