Fibonacci Number: Its influence in Visual Design and the Plant Kingdom

Abstract

The Fibonacci sequence is an amazing sequence followed by the nature itself. The Fibonacci sequence is a set of numbers that starts with one or a zero, followed by a one, and proceeds based on the rule that each number (called a Fibonacci number) is equal to the sum of the preceding two numbers.  The sequence is actually very close ratio to the Golden Ratio. The Golden Ratio is a design concept that is to create visually appealing proportions in art, architecture, design and even the human body all throughout history. It's believed that the Golden Ratio has been in use for at least 4,000 years in human art and design. However, it may be even longer than that – some people argue that the Ancient Egyptians used the principle to build the pyramids. Visual design gives an application its distinctive style, its thematic look and innate identity. Here we will try to establish the influence of Fibonacci sequence, Golden Ratio and their contribution in the field of Visual design and will try to show how the Golden Ratio is applicable to the pattern of tree leaves and relation of Fibonacci sequence with the design of flower petals, exist in nature.
