Hallo liebe Community,

ich hätte eine kleine Frage bezüglich Hilfslinien im Goldenen Schnitt. Im Photoshop kann man sich per Freistellungswerkzeug einfach und schnell den Goldenen Schnitt anzeigen lassen. Gibt es so eine Möglichkeit auch im Illustrator?

Liebe Grüße

Alex

You could use one of these vectors as guides in Illustrator, but don't expect wonders.

Vergiss den Goldenen Schnitt. Das ist ein Hoax.

Alexander,

I wonder whether the answer is to use a square/rectangle as a Clipping Path (select both the square/rectangle and the artwork and then Ctrl/Cmd+7 (hold Ctrl/or Cmd and press 7)).

I presume the question has nothing to do with establishing/determining den Goldenen Schnitt.

And that it goes beyond just showing den Goldenen Schnitt which can be done with the square/rectangle having a stroke and no fill.

Hallo Jacob,

vielen Dank für deine Nachricht. Es geht tatsächlich um die Etablierung des Goldenen Schnitts per Hilfslinien. Ich möchte z.B. ein Logo im Goldenen Schnitt gestalten. In Photoshop kann ich das einfach per Freistellungswerkzeug anzeigen lassen (siehe Bild). Meine Frage war ob es eine ähnliche Möglichkeit im Illustrator dafür gibt.

Alexander,

To most easily obtain corresponding guide lines, which you can snap to using Smart Guides, you can copy the original square in front of itself, then reduce (only) the width of the copy by adding *0.236 in the W box of the Transform panel and pressing Enter, then rotate a copy by 90 degrees.

This will give you two crossing rectangles where the pairs of long sides correspond to the Goldener Schnitt guide lines. 0.236 is the distance between two lines set at 0.618 from opposite sides (that is (0.618-0.500)*2).

Actually, I believe this corresponds to the inbuilt way the guide lines are made with the Crop Tool in PS (instead of only 2, it would take 4 rectangles to make with only a single long side from each.
