Ummm… surely you noticed that those lines are drawn completely arbitrarily? Can you just overlay a golden spiral on anything and say it uses the golden mean?
They always take simple things that work well, and complicate them for no reason. I don’t like it.
@3, huh? Those are the horizontal and vertical tangents. Tangents aren’t arbitrary. You could shrink or enlarge the spiral any way you wanted and the proportions would remain the same. Conversely, within the set bounding box, there’s only one way to draw this.
@4, quite the opposite. They’ve taken something incredibly complex and used it to make something appear simple.
Yes, because using a golden spiral has a direct correlation to software usability. “We can now forgo all user testing!”
Doug Bowman sounds like a real burden to be around. That said, it’s much, much better than the shit they had up before.
