Perhaps there are other factors at play?

Why do you say it's not a bad design? Reading top-down, left to right (as is the case in the Western world), it states:

"I used the golden ratio bad but my is still design."

It's hilariously bad.

[alexeystar@mas.to]

@peteorrall @markarayner because it was intended, and it works

@markarayner I low-key like it. #hatersgonnahate

@peteorrall @alexeystar @markarayner

An alternate reading is:

"I used the golden ratio bad but my design is still"

That is at least grammatically correct, but I'm not sure it makes much more sense.

@markarayner Some of us just suck at graphic design.

[hakona@im.alstadheim.no]

@markarayner Could use some blinking , and still have the golden ratio. Also maybe some more variety in fonts and kerning?

[peteorrall@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@bruce @alexeystar @markarayner

In my brain, I read (interpreted?) it as:

"I used the golden ratio but my design is still bad."

However, the joke was well received.

Dan Brown fans everywhere are reaching for the pitch forks.

[lasse@social.tchncs.de]

@markarayner reminds me of this one, which is probably a better fit for the golden ratio

[joblakely@mastodon.social]

@markarayner lolololol

[hrast@sunny.garden]

@markarayner it's perfect 🥹

[giorginolab@mstdn.science]

@markarayner of course: the image was not resized properly! it's horizontally stretched.

[antopatriarca@mathstodon.xyz]

@burnitdown @markarayner clearly the font sizes should have also followed a decreasing Fibonacci sequence…

[peterfr@mastodon.art]

@markarayner i know many people who "did this" and they we're very convinced that nothing can go wrong because they had that genius golden ratio intuition.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
