This zip file contains an Illustrator CS4 template and an Illustrator 8 EPS file. The guidelines are set up in a golden spiral. Use this as a template for your layouts or illustrations to create a visually pleasing design. This zip file contains an Illustrator template (.ait), a native Illustrator CS file (.ai), and an Illustrator 8 EPS (.eps) file that can be opened in most versions of Illustrator, CorelDraw, InkScape, Freehand or Photoshop. The file itself shows guide lines set up in the golden ratio and a spiral over the top.
If you are designing a website, this golden ratio calculator can help determine column widths.
The divine proportion connects patterns of growth with natural laws, mathematical expressions, and principals of artistic design.

The divine proportion, also called the Fibonacci Spiral, golden mean or golden spiral, has been used by master architects and sculptures for thousands of years.
The Fibonacci Spiral can be found in pinecones, flowers, and pineapple. This video shows how you can count the spirals and they will always add up to a fibonacci number of 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 42, 55, 89, and even 144.

Thanks alot for the template…
Thanks for this. I had the challenge to create a sunflower pattern, and with the template of yours it was fairly easy to figure out.
1 – mirror the spiral and turn it 27,95 degrees so that the ends meet each other.
2 – distribute in a circle with a angle of 13.8461 degrees.
