Golden Ratio Webbie Guide Sheet

[nunez]

Does anyone have one?

 

I know I picked up such a thing at one point, and I am pretty certain it was here. In fact I am using one right now that needs replacement, but I cannot find the PDF anywhere! Searching turned up a previous discussion where someone created an A5 golden mean templet, but the webbies are a slightly different size. Any pointers to one will be greatly appreciated. A bit like the Rod Graves templets, but for webbie.

 

Cheers,

Steve

I know there's some website that tells you (and has diagrams) of the different sizes, but I didn't know that the golden mean was involved. (I looked up the different sizes a couple of years ago because as an American I'm used to 8-1/2" x 11" being standard, with "8-1/4 x 14" being legal size -- but when I was doing volunteer work a number of years ago filing papers, we always had a little problem with the stuff coming from Europe and (IIRC) also Australia and New Zealand (although I don't think we ever got very much from New Zealand).

Okay, not the site I remembered but this one may help you:

Is it available at incompetech

I can't find it, but there was some discussion some time ago on the FPN about using Golden Ratio margins in a notebook.

 

This document may help - http://mirrors.ctan.org/info/memdesign/memdesign.pdf

(Start with Chapter 3)

 

I would start by using the above Incompetech site to set up a basic page with the dimensions of a webbie (5 1/2 x 8 1/4 ?),

then download LibreOffice and use the Draw module to add the margins that you want.

 

I have made a number of different guide sheets using this technique.

The 'problem' with Incompetech templets is that they are symmetrical. The lines are even width across the page. As you (dcwaites) suggest, the margins need to be adjusted. There were some previous discussions:

It looks like the webbie is only 8mm shorter than A5, so it might be possible to adapt an A5 templet, or even draw one myself. I do not have anything that can edit PDF though, so am hoping someone knows of a templet out there already for the webbie.

Thanks Dave. Great minds think alike! I think I will resurrect those old threads and see if anyone can help. It seems that 9x9, with 2X on the outer and gutter, and 1X on the spine is what I want.

And A5 too please!

 

edit: nunez found it! Thanks nunez
