THE
STRUCTURE.
Practical guides to proportion, armatures, grids and geometric composition. Understand the system, see what it can—and cannot—do, then use it in Construct.
01Dynamic symmetryDiagonals + reciprocals
A proportional construction family that creates related positions and directions inside a frame.
→02Root 3 rectangle√3 : 1How a 1.732:1 rectangle becomes a compositional armature.
→03Golden ratio in designφ ≈ 1.618A measurable proportion—not an automatic formula for beauty.
→04Harmonic compositionRelations, not recipesHow ratios, armatures, hierarchy and judgment interact.
→05Dynamic symmetry vs rule of thirdsTwo different jobsA simple placement guide compared with a deeper network of relationships.
→06Asymmetrical collage layoutWeight without mirroringBuild hierarchy with dominant images, counterweights and deliberate empty space.
→07Business card layoutSmall format, hard decisionsOrganize identity, role and contact information before decoration.
→08Poster compositionHierarchy at a distanceUse scale, field, type and negative space to control the first read.
