Proportion
                        Ratio
Proportion refers to the comparative relationship of size.
It can be expressed using a mathematical ratio and can
be observed by comparing:
                    • One form to another
                    • One part to the whole

Ideal Proportions and Convention

The notion of “correct” proportion is often
based on familiarity, norms, and
convention.

Ideals can relate to the human
body and accepted beliefs of
physical beauty, or to the design
of common objects.
