oh yes, the golden rectangle and the spiral. i think it has some application in the world of mathematics as well, right?

i personally prefer the square, it seems nicely in proportion. but a square is a special rectangle anyway!

A rectangle. A rectangle seems to lead your eye somewhere instead of just blatantly sitting there being what it is ... like a square does.

a square cos it all the same, it's balanced and equal. When you cut it into quarters that are triangles they are the same as well

i think a triangle... Im not sure why... but Im sure I will be up all night trying to figure out why I would like to look at a triangle more than a square..
