The Golden Mean Caliper is a tool for measuring dynamically the phi proportion. The proportion nature uses when designing life. This caliper is based on an articulated pentagon. It is very useful during design in whatever discipline that interacts with life... as life was designed with the Phi proportion.
It's very handy for artists in general. Painters, sculptors and architects use it widely. Also graphic designers can take advantage of it's use when searching for a pleasant layout.
The architecture of our body responds entirely to this ratio, that's why we naturally use this ratio in whatever creative act we do. Having the caliper around during creation will give us a wider range of possibilities.
It's a lifetime jewel present for anyone who appreciate aesthetics.
