In my current role as all-around designer, I've had to ramp up quickly on basic graphic design skills. One of my favorite tricks for creating visually pleasing designs is by using the golden ratio (phi) for proportions within my designs. These proportions are all around us in nature, so they appear naturally pleasing to the eye.I created this simple Excel spreadsheet (phi.xls) for generating multiples of a given number after I got sick of doing it manually in the calculator. I hope you find it useful. Let me know in the comments if you like it.
