Design Ratios and Proportions: Because Who Needs Math Anyway?

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on design ratios and proportions, because, let's be real, math is hard.

Here's a list of the most important ratios and proportions to know:

• 1:1.6 - The ratio of pixels to sanity, which is roughly equal to the number of times you'll need to refresh your browser to get it to work.
• 2:5 - The proportion of designers who actually understand this concept to those who just wing it.
• 3:4 - The ratio of coffee to actual productivity, which is roughly equal to the number of cups of coffee you'll need to drink to understand this concept.
• 4:3 - The proportion of people who actually follow this ratio to those who just use Comic Sans.
