Pentagon - Studio Brief 01 - OUGD504

As I have decided to focus on the shape of a pentagon for my leaflet. I thought it would be a good idea to look into the meaning of the shape and what it represents.

A pentagon has links with the golden ratio, but I'm skeptical of this theory so I will not go into greater detail of this finding, but for the sake of documentation, here is the 'evidence':

Although the above image is a 5 sided star, it is still classified under a pentagon, for example a 5 sided polygonal shape.

Other meanings:

Peace

Protection against evil

'Human stars' (Head, arms and legs)

Balance

Versatility

Elements: Earth, Fire, Water, Air and Life

As well as the points above, it has strong connection with plants and flowers, which represent life and creativity.
