Hi
I recently watch a program (Megafactories: Aston Martin Supercar) where the designer was talking about a theory which 'has left scientists and designers baffled'.
It was where, for some reason, if you design things to a percentage where a portion is a little over 33% and the rest was a little under 66% (it was an exact measurement but I cant remember) that human beings would automatically find it pleasing on the eye. Apparently this theory can be found in many famous things designed in history.
It was described as 2 words and I would really like to read about this more. Does anyone know what I am talking about? I;m not a designer so figured I would try a forum instead of waiting in hope that the program gets repeated!
Thanks for any help.
Chris
