I'm about to construct the most important document of my life - my Ph.D. thesis. A while back I came across this for web design:

Grids are Good

Is there anything similar for typesetting A4 papers? Preferably that adheres to the golden ratio. I want my thesis to be as amazing as possible.

Thanks in advance!

    Could you clarify your question a bit? Are you looking for a presentation that tells you how to structure an A4 page for the correct placement of images? Or do you want a LaTeX template that places images like that?

  • I'm looking for information on how to structure a golden ratio grid across A4 paper. It does not have to be LaTeX specific.

    The layaureo package sets the page parameters based on the golden ratio. Unfortunately, it's documented only in Italian, but \usepackage[binding=4mm]{layaureo} should be all you need (the binding option is not required, of course)

  • Use ConTeXt. Seriously.

  • The memoir manual has some samples of textblock constructions. But... I would recommend you not to use A4 as the final size.
