About Open Norma

NORMA — ABOUT

Design with
proportion.

Norma is a browser-based geometric design system for building compositions from proportion, grids and geometric structure.

Construct is Norma's geometric composition workspace for posters, business cards, collages, social graphics and other structured layouts. Create is the generative geometry instrument for quickly exploring proportional forms.

Its public tools calculate ratios, compare relationships and browse design formats. Unlike template-first design, Norma starts with the underlying relationship so the structure can be inspected, questioned and refined.

01 — CREATE

Start
with form.

Explore proportional marks quickly and tactilely. Create is the fast surface: a starting point, not a black box.

Open Create ↗

02 — CONSTRUCT

Build the
composition.

Divide a canvas, apply proportional systems, and refine the construction beneath a layout when more precision is needed.

Open Construct ↗

03 — TOOLS

Measure
relation.

Calculate dimensions, compare ratios and browse canonical formats without turning the application into a catalogue.

04 — PRINCIPLE

Measured,
not guessed.

The golden ratio is one relationship, not the universal answer. Norma keeps the value visible so choices can be compared, questioned and refined.

PUBLIC TOOLS

Three ways into
a relationship.

KEEPING NORMA OPEN

Buy the maker

Norma is free to use, and I want to keep it that way. If it helped you find a direction, a small one-time contribution helps me keep building the geometry, tools and public references behind it.
