A Fibonacci spiral guides attention through an image with one strong focal point instead of a rigidly symmetrical layout. Build it from adjoining squares whose side lengths follow Fibonacci numbers, then draw arcs through the squares to create a sweeping curve. section 6.8.4
Use the pattern as a practical composition checklist:
- Arrange squares in Fibonacci-sized steps within the frame. section 6.8.4
- Draw arcs from opposite corners to form the spiral-like viewing path. section 6.8.4
- Place the greatest detail in the smallest square so the curve leads toward the subject. section 6.8.4
